Hi,
I am a "Controls" Engineer from Canada, currently working in the nuclear industry designing "tools" for nuclear maintenance.
I am wondering about the market for someone with my skill set: PLC/SCADA/Electrical system design....
With manufacturing dying in Canada, where will the jobs be? Some other countries? Nuclear is a great sector to be in for now, but for how long? And given that I'm just an "electrical" guy and not a nuclear guy, I feel that I'm pretty expendable (in reality, everyone is).
So where do I go from here? Should I go back to school and get training in something else? MBA? Law? Physiotherapy? Advanced Engineering degree?
I mean I like my job, but it's not a passion, and I am worried about the future.
I have been working for four years now, and feel like I'm at a fork in the road and need to make a decision whether to continue on in this career or move on to something else...
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
