Do you take digital logic, DSP, electronics, microcontrollers, computer programming? I am working at a power company and know the linemen, they don't take any of those which is what an EE takes. They do take the electric distribution stuff which EEs take, but it's a different concentration. You would be in the Power Systems concentration, at Michigan Tech there are 5 concentrations, and 4 of them are in stuff a linemen has no need for. BTW, linework is tough, but it is cool to see them work.

no, just A/C, D/C theory, motor controls, transformers, ect. I can actually apply for college credits after i finish the program, take a few more classes and get a degree as an EE in just a couple years...

if hes thinking like im thinking... i cant wait to live comfortably.

all the engineers I know, and I mean ALL of them, have huge houses, tons of 'toys', and they party pretty much all the time and just don't worry about their expenses because they make enough.

went to one guys house, age 24, mech engr, and he has a HUGE nice *** condo. he bought all the drinks, had maybe 8 fifths brand new for the night. absolut peach, absolut vanilla, gentlemans jack, hpnotiq, some kind of cognac i dont remember the name, some other stuff too. he does it like 2-3 times a week...

hey another local. I am not sure exactly how your school works but they should have a job placement office and such that will be more than willing to help you find interships for summer and other off semesters. Many of the schools in our area have a steady Co-Op program (Northeastern and Wentworth being the bigger two) so most of the business' in our area are very accustomed to using co-ops/interns for part of their work force year round. The company I work for generally has at least 10 co-ops year round.

yeah im almost sure im going to school for 5 years to get my masters but by my junior year ill most likely have an internship. Funny that you mention northeastern and wentworth because i applied to both of those and got in. My friend is going there and my uncle is a lawyer for wentworth actually. small world

the classes i'm taking to become a journeyman wireman are the same ones georgia tech electrical engineer students take, except i don't get a degree:crap:

do you mean a lineman, as in the ones that work on the power lines outside ur house and the highlines that are really tall with the bigger lines?

As an engineer I would have to disagree with you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
