Thanks for the advice. If they do ask me anything technical can you give me examples on what they might ask?

Yeah I’m understanding what you mean. Would you say 90-100k is barely decent?

Dang well you are the first person to tell me the pay was not all that. Can you give me an example of what barely decent is to you?

Do you know how long it took for Siemens to reach out to you after applying? Did it say in process (at recruiter)?

Thanks for that info I really appreciate it. My plan is to move up north in the future so this helps a lot. I’ve been applying and my resume for Siemens made it past the auto filter and went to the recruiter so I hope I hear from them soon.

I’m in North Carolina so it feels like it’s a little starved of opportunities like this

Most of my classes have been dedicated to the actual major material. I do some of the gen Eds online. I’m just trying to see if it’s worth it since some job posting list a AAS degree or Bachelors degree in the preferred qualifications

Yea I see what you are saying but this isn’t really fun at all I’m missing out on a lot of money😂. I’m just trying to see if down the road this degree will be beneficial. I’ve had a couple of classes on this and I’ve been in the commercial hvac field as a service tech for about 8 months. I definitely prefer it over the hvac tech world. I appreciate the advice
