Ok, I'll try not to bore everyone haha. I've been a firefighter for almost 10 years now, even though I was raised around the firehouse. Right now I'm in college for Electronic Engineering. Anything else feel free to ask

My world isn't too bad. I am a mother of 2 girls who just love having me run them all over. I am a volunteer firefighter I am the secretary plus the only female on the department. It is nice because my daughters do let me have adult time. LOL

What type of company do you do secretarial work for?

Running your kids all over - LOLOLOL - I don't know what is up with this generation of kids. I don't remember my parents running us all over the world when we were kids...

How old are your girls?

Hey that's awesome, my brother and my cousin are electrical engineers.

And I am in university right now studying Marriage and Family Therapy - so I know NOTHING about your field - lol

So do tell - what attracted you to studying Electronic engineering?
Are you a super IT guy now?
Since my electronics and I are constantly in fighting! LOL

Do tell... what will you do with your degree when you are done?

Well that's up in the air slightly, depending on who's hiring lol, but I'm thinking of either getting into repairing medical equipment or with all the new advances in electronics when it comes to airpacks and all of our detectors and cameras, might try to get in with msn or scott to do repairs, since I know the equipment lol

now is an electrical engineer the same thing as an electronics engineer?

I think my brother built things like computer chip boards, while my cousin does things like the re-build and repair machinery.

Yes, I hear you about the job options thing. Where will you plan on living when you are done? Do you get to do an internship while still in school which could lead into an industry or career?

Yes, it would be awesome if you can blend your current knowledge and skill base into your education in order to get a job you really like.

Are you working volunteer FF right now or are you working for a career department?

and since I tend to break a lot of electronic things - you may just have to become my new best friend ;-)

An electronics engineer works with the circuit boards and such, where as an electrical works on the larger scale, the basics are very similar but the jobs are different. And with the accelerated program, they don't do much with internships, but 91% of their students get hired closely soon after graduation.

I just rejoined the volunteer company that I was a member of since I was 18. (resigned for a year because I was thinking of transferring to a school 3 hours away)

And contrary to popular belief, hammers are not meant for electronics. lol
