[QUOTE="longjohn119, post: 138299, member: 2826"] About 20 years ago just a couple of months shy of my 30th birthday I went back to school and got a BS in Electronics Technology and it was the smartest move I ever made. Being a senior level (Over 8 years field experience, I'm going on 17 years now) ISSET certified electronics technician will get you in the door of a lot of places like the commercial HVAC Service tech job I have now which pays very well and has excellent insurance and pension. (I had the sheetmetal workers and pipefitters unions fighting over me, I chose the Pipefitters because of an extra .35 cents and hour and a better bene3fits package. Furnaces, AC's and boilers, especially the commercial packages, are all computer controlled and they were dying for electronics techs with an HVAC background. Now my back is going on me I'm looking for a bench job probably teaching at the tech college I graduated from or training the apprentices in electrical/electronics at the union hall. I've also been offer the position of service manager or sales where I work now but I'm not the management/sales type (Ran a Radio Shack branch for a couple of years and hated all the corporate management BS) I'm more of a hands on kind of guy.
