Great explanation on overtime and how it works at different places you really explained it well. I made a short on exempt vs non exempt and it touch a little on the topic of overtime but i thing you were really clear on a goo way to approach it and why
Yeah, maybe like they’re both good honestly but they’re just a lot different. Electro mechanic is a little bit different than automation controls. It’s like more focused on the mechanic aspect, but expected to do both if that makes sense. I can’t really comment on if the demand for engineering candidates is as good as maintenance technicians and electrical technicians. The deal with electrical technician jobs is there basically like a lower level job but it still pays really good so that comes with less stress. There’s definitely really high demand for technicians, but you’re going to be working with your hands more big time. You’re gonna have to kind of figure out which one you want to do I guess is the bottom line.
Also, with the electro mechanic degree, you can kind of decide to veer towards controls and automation, once you get your degree and pick the jobs that you want and then you know your experience matters a lot, as well as the degree
Is math really intensive in your job? I’ve watched a bit of your videos and it doesn’t seem too intense. I’m worried about applying for college and while I’m at college i fail in the math classes. I am 19 years old, and I’m a D & C student when it comes to math. Just a bit nervous applying for college and if i go it doesn’t work out and waste money and more especially my time.
Yeah, I get that. I would say There is some math while getting a degree but not like a 4 year engineering degree. Engineering you need 3 levels of calculus, usually with 2 year engineering technology, automation or electronics degrees you need algebra and trigonometry. Some of the classes also require path but I would say it’s all pretty repetitive. You are going to need to learn algebra (think solving for “X”. 2X+10=50, stuff like that. There are some exponents as well. Trig is like if some, cosine that stuff. None of that is complicated, you just have to learn it. It’s significantly less difficult math than engineering. On the job I don’t really use math, but a lot of stuff requires a sort of problem solving, math-like mindset. For example.. this conveyor won’t start. We checked all the sensors they are working but none of the lights on the panel are turning on. Then you look at the electrical schematics and try to figure out the solution with pieces of evidence or figure out what else you need to test to solve the problem. On the job I just use basic algebra for calibration, there is a lot of problem solving and learning how equipment works
@@gregroche7323 i appricate it, now when applying to college should i go ahead and do it I’m interested in I&E? Or should i wait? Cause the closet college that offers the 2 year degree is 35 mins from me, so the next time I can enroll is this up coming spring semester. What I’m really trying to ask is, i like to work with my hands, I like having problems and solving them, and I like not having 19,000 people next to me bothering me.
The degree doesn't require too much math mainly problem solving which is the best type because it is useful in your normal everyday life too not just your job
I would suggest a tour with the people that run the program you are thinking about joining. I actually went to achool woth randomhelp. The place we went was really good in my opinion a lot of fun labs, the guy that ran it was fun, he helped is all get part time jobs while we were in school. Try to figure out if they do that and see if its a good fit

Love these videos bro, I had a question if you think getting a 4 year is better then getting a 2 year aa.
Yea I think so, engineers do make a little more. There are pros and cons to each
@@gregroche7323 okay. I’m in my 3rd semester as a electro mechanic and 2 more years would seem more beneficial
