P&C Career Advice/Info
A few months ago I started an entry-level drafting position with a consulting firm in the substation department. I am finishing a power technology AS soon, and I am concurrently pursuing a BSEE. I will gain experience on the job while going to school, following the natural career progression through design and engineering roles.
My aspiration is to ultimately to end up working in protection and control, and I would like to ask anyone who has knowledge and experience to elaborate on the field.
