Hello all, I'm new and hope that this board will teach me a lot. I'm in my 20's and have always had a knack for electrical/electronic things, and am thinking that I want to put it to good use. I have been in a similar industry and now have a little spare cash and time to learn what I need to advance onto my next phase.
I'm wanting to start working in electronics, however Mathematics has never been my strong suit, and to be honest I think I have some sort of disability with it. So, knowing myself and how I am, I'm thinking I can do the next best thing (Electronics/electrical technician) and get my "Fix" that way.
I have a few questions about this, though. Are opportunities more limited for technicians vs full blown engineers? Does anyone know of any successful people who made a lot of money and were not engineers but technicians? (Would it severely limit my abilities in being entrepreneurial in the field?) Or is that limited to just engineers?
I'm basically looking for some experiences (technicians esp) of people who are entrepreneurial and have not let higher level qualifiactions stand in their way.
Thanks to anyone who replies. Cheers.
