Hello PLC talk members!
My friend is thinking of switching from being an industrial electrician to a power engineer, primarily due to the large pay difference and relatively high demand here in Canada. He already works shift work and is not opposed to it.
However he does not know what it would fully be like.
Is it hard work?
Lots of physical work (IE physically demanding)?
Stressful (both mentally and physically)?
Would someone who for the most part enjoys electrical work enjoy that career?
(Trouble shooting, tinkering with different systems/ things, computer aptitude things, PLCs, Factory Talk etc..)
Is it in your opinion a smart move?
What is it like in later years as you move up and complete your different classes?
Is it dirty work?
What are the good days like? and the bad?
if you have any input or opinions either from the above questions or not it will be valued highly, thank you !
