[musak999]

I'm trying to decide what I should do with my life. Tell me about your work. I've thought about becoming one but I don't know if I'm the type of person who would enjoy that type work. Comment away...thanks.

Looks like it could be fun. I'm kind of absent minded and a klutz so I think I might end up forgetting to cut power to something and fry myself though.

Yeah, I have a friend who was taking electronics classes and is color blind. Trying to pick out the right resistor was kinda tough on him.

Up until 18 months ago I was an Industrial Electrician. Interesting, almost fun, work. Troubleshooting industrial equipment, PLCs, ASDs, motor controls and machinery control circuits, industrial wiring, three-phase. I am now the department supervisor, and not a day goes by that I don't wish I was still an electrician and not teh boss.
