hello! i graduated from a local college with a diploma in electronics engineering technology and i really enjoyed our signal processing and filter design courses. i am aware that you can specialize in that field and i would really like to find a job in that field but all the job postings require a degree. if i would have known that before i started my education, i would have done a degree program but now i cant afford to go back to school and upgrade to a degree because i cant even find a job in the first place. is it possible to get a job in these fields with a diploma even if i have a strong desire and interest in the subjects?
