Summary

I am really looking forward to the hand on work that this job brings to the table. It has a lot of fun hands on work that I like to do working with wiring. The thing I am looking forward to the least is the schooling. The schooling for Electrical Engineering is very hard even though it is only 4 years it is still very hard and takes a lot of work. This job is worth it though with the money you make and the way the job itself is.
