I would say if you have the time, money, desire and drive to get your BSEE, by all means do so. At least you already have all your general ed covered.
Normally technicians come up through the ranks, many times with various forms of formal or semi formal education from a variety of colleges and technical training schools or the military. I have hired lots of technicians and engineers over the years. I'll take a life long interest/experience in Ham radio over the degree in many cases. Or military. Fresh BSEEs are not good for much. You have to teach them the stuff the technicians already know. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 10:17 PM Subject: [WISPA] Communications / Radio Tech career > Hi, > > I've recently graduated with a BA in English BUT am interested in > shifting towards a career as a communications or radio technician.
