    Jr Eng Needing advice @ consulting job

    I'm trying to keep my slim hope of doing power alive. However, if I see no progression soon, I will probably have to bolt for something else. I'm trying my best to work as hard as I can in controls, however projects have been slow... rarely ever get 2 or 3 days of full work. Haven't gotten...
