Hello everyone, It has been a little while since i have been to the forum. I have stopped going to school due to the program i was in was for the birds. I could have recieved a job at comcast without paying the 12,000 for a diploma and just could have used my high school diploma.
So i am switching to a more in depth class, it even has a 8 week plc class which i am dying to take. But before i go back i am reading and trying to teach myself so this way when i go back i kinda know it which i hope i can then breeze through it. Especially with family, work, and the classes being fast. i would not have much time to study.
With this all said i found a website last night that has a bunch of cool electronic kits. They range from making your own security sensor, timers, water flood alarm, phone tap, ect.ect.. I thought that buying some of those would be a great idea for learning besides just reading a book. Not to mention i have Multism 9 full version which i have to use more of but i wanted to get through ac in the book i am in now and then start the hands on stuff. I plan on doing this the next few months since i do not see a reason to rush through this.
After doing all of this what would any of you guru's suggest be the next step. I do not for any reason expect the learning to end there but i cannot do the full time school or a 4 year degree. So i am thinking this may be the long way but the right way, except once i know the basics and have some hands on experience where do i go from there?
I still am trying to find out exactly what part of the field to go into but like i said i wont have a full fledge degree so i believe my options are limited hence why i have no clue what will be available for me to enter for a job. Can anyone give opinion, suggestions, insight, experience or some knowledge that can help someone who really wants to do something with themselves but just waited way to long to do something about it?? thank you
