Salary. With a median salary of $59,460 per year, cost estimators wade at the deeper end of the construction-work earning pool. However, they are employed in nearly any industry that offers goods and services. The best-paid earned an impressive $98,140 in 2013, while the lowest earners took home $34,280.hadowing a veteran cost estimator and on-the-job training are good ways to gain experience in the field. Hands-on experience is particularly important, as it gives applicants the chance to see and learn how the company handles estimates firsthand.
Vaccine Basics. There are four combination vaccines used to prevent diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (whooping cough): DTaP, Tdap, DT, and Td. Two of these (DTaP and DT) are given to children younger than seven years of age and two (Tdap and Td) are given to older children and adults.
The Tdap vaccine became available in 2005 for older children and adults. Before 2005, there was no pertussis booster shot for anybody over 6 years of age. Young children have been vaccinated against whooping cough since the 1940s. But protection against the disease naturally wears off over time.
