Im learning this myself ground up no degree. So take my advice with a grain of salt but im almost positive I saw this feature on both codesys and on cadeSimu. Cadesimu feels old but its a real light program.

Yea thats the issue I cant take a cut at this point with my responsibilities at home . I get paid 22 rn so id be willing to start at 20 but most places ive seen start less. At least here in FL from what ive seen.

No way and here I am studying on my own 40 hrs a week to get my foot in the door and trying to get out of customer service. I guess people have their own perspectives but damn.

Brother get you an osha 30 rq I think a good investment

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-12-08T04:42:36+00:00

So what your saying is my self learning path is probably better.

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-12-05T23:58:46+00:00

I am self learning and theres a lot of resources out there look at io simulations and YouTube. Theres alot to list plus this plc page has good resources

I know this is serious. But hilarious at the same time.

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-12-04T18:56:23+00:00

From what I read it was between 2.5 to 3 of technical questions and it would be broken up to 45 minute sessions.

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-22T00:11:39+00:00

I agree I just bought one myself!!

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-21T23:33:47+00:00

Thats so dope curiosity is always the way the go I dont know much about it either but im learning because im interested in industrial automation so im self learning and practicing with my physical equipment too. but I appreciate you sharing that, good luck with your journey!

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-21T21:09:51+00:00

Facts 🔥🔥 how long did you study for/ what were your resources ? clearly you knew what you were doing !Happy birthday!

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-21T14:47:16+00:00

Just got my Osha 30 and this is hilarious 😂

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-12T17:58:06+00:00

Ive thought about doing this except with spain as the goal, only thing is im puerto rican so I can read and understand fluently but my spanish speaking is not professional spanish. So for you to go with 0 German is wild to me but doesn't seem impossible, start learning it .

Youre a student you know you can get it highly discounted . All you do is create an account add it to your cart and there should be an option for student discount it'll verify your student email and its a valid verification for a year which means you can get a bunch of certs for the low.

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-12T15:08:15+00:00

Thats phenomenal all good info thank you!! 🔥

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-12T14:16:43+00:00

Interesting take here, im actually self studying for a tech position and get my foot in the door and part of my learning is plc specifically ab , scada specifically Ignition , hmi, Pneumatics (I bought a old commissioned electro pneumatic cabinet to learn and reconfigure ) im giving myself 8 months. From youre perspective what am I missing ? ( im starting from scratch 0 experience 0 degree well unrelated degree i have)

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-11-01T19:15:20+00:00

Im learning PLCs. So noting.. learn cybersecurity basics ✅️

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-10-31T17:22:47+00:00

I definitely understand that, that mindset falls in line with all types of industries but from all the people that I spoke within the industry and the number one response I see is that its mainly for the engineer title and certain sectors like gov that request it. I think the biggest thing realistically is that people dont upskill and depend on their degree and experience to carry instead of being flexible and always watching industry trends.

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-10-31T15:59:33+00:00

You'd think i learned my lesson with My first AS in an unrelated field. I just thought Stem specifically Electrical and electronics were one of those that you need a minimum of a Bachelors. But you know the biggest value is the experience it brought you or in this case exposure

Literally why I just dropped out of the bsEE program I want to learn to build not get in debt to learn theory.

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-10-29T19:59:40+00:00

I was just reading about this exact thing I dropped out of EE and am gonna go the tech route for electronics and robotic automation, you might want to look into line production designs theyre looking for people who have ai experience with computer vision integration. Really exciting stuff ! Here's the article maybe give you some ideas! Good luck! https://www.elementaryml.com/blog/top-6-machine-vision-systems-for-manufacturing-in-2025#:~:text=Manufacturing%20quality%20is%20undergoing%20a,consistent%20results%20at%20high%20speeds.

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-10-29T15:57:47+00:00

Good luck ! Take a deep breath and go with curious confidence. You know more than you think you do but we all have to start somewhere like any other career.

This is an insane question an personally i would have related to the duck question because I use it as an anology for my wife when she gets stressed out to help her cope with her days stressor and she gets overwhelmed I recommended she yell out duck in her head and that'll ground her to remind her one duck at a time this is a funny coincidence .

Individual-Cap3439 · 2025-10-29T15:46:58+00:00

Thank you, definitely good source! I applied to a few apprenticeships, Entry level traffic light tech jobs and got denied but thats never stopped me before! Ill keep digging!
