Hey folks, wanted to share some recent thinking about my future decisions and get some feedback.
i have been in the construction industry since 1998 in one capacity or another beginning as a equipment technician servicing concrete plants, resetting in 2009 after economy reset, and got an AA in Paralegal, then started working for a friend in his masonry contracting business starting with part time sales and working through to operations management ( I did everything but sign the checks) then to full time sales opening a new territory for a stone manufactruer, and long story short I am now underemployed at Amazon and seeking a program to go back to school for another AA and I’m considering the following:
Cardiovascular technology- looks like a good career in the health field but maybe not utilizing all of my experience and skill set. Pay is pretty good to support my family. Highly competitive and only 18 seats available for classes.
Electronics engineering or electrical engineering- more aligned with my skill set of working with my hands.
i have considered medical laboratory technician and it sounds interesting lots of math which I have always had to work at.
i am puttiing this out there to gain insight from any on here about their experiences that are relevant, please post thoughts especially if you are in any of these fields and can give me good feedback
thanks,
James
