Hello all
I figured this is the best place to ask a career question as most people here work in the industry.
Im wishing to go into PLC and wanting to take the night course at my local technical college. The classes seem very in depth which is good as I do not have any formal training. I have been in corporate IT for over 8 years. When I was younger I worked in a electronics shop fixing TVs, microwaves, etc.
So now my questions.
1) Will I be able to transition from IT to PLC. With that will my basic programming knowledge help a lot and will employers look at that when interviewing?
2) Will I be limited because of my lack of Engineering education?
3) Do employers bring on students to do junior positions?
4) What other course could I take to give me that edge?
5) Bonus question (lol) I have also looked at CNC and I find it very interesting though seems as if you need to be a machinist to get into it, is this true?
Thank you all in advance.
