As the title states I’m a 36 year old master electrician heading back to school to get my EE. I should preface this by saying its not about the money because honestly I make more than most EEs. I currently make 150k to 200k a year. I have always considered myself an intelligent man but I never went to college, I figure I will have my degree in about 5 years being as I will still continue to work full time. My job is paying for college so I won’t be out any money. I guess I’m wondering if anyone else has taking this path similar to me. I just want to gather some opinions and thoughts. The reason I am doing this is more for my personal satisfaction and being able to truly blend the practical and theoretical sides of the industry, and perhaps leverage both into a well paying role.
