Hi,
I couldn't find any forum that talked about the field of controls in regards to employment, etc. And apparently everyone is so hard working, no engineers post on Indeed.
I just had a general question. I'm a EE with a MSEE. But I ended up in software development.
I'm now in my 40s and wish I had taken the true engineering route.
I've worked in the auto industry but not in controls.
I have a local comm college that has an associates program in mechtronics. And a local university that has a masters in mechtronics. The latter is very expensive, $40-50K.
At age 45, would you suggest it's too late to pursue this career, with basically no experience?
What are job opportunities like? Is entry-level available?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know I can transition, but want to know if it's worth the time and money.
