Andy,
Good on ya. Education is the best way to "be all you can be". Keep going, NEVER stop.

The plain fact is....most maintenance electricians are not...er, the most highly trained group.

Go to any gummint website and see the requirements for the maintenance jobs. Some are different, and the guy who is well trained, and wants to keep up with his field is a gem who will/can go far, good luck.

One of the items I would look for is ANY cross training, or understanding of another discipline. Go get an HVAC gas cert, take a boiler class of any kind, etc., should put you over the top brother.

Want to do a bit of Fire Alarm type, NICET is a wonderful place to start, you get the idea, but for an entry level position, you've already got all the bona fides you require.

The thing is....DON'T let them change your attitude towards education once you've landed that "sweet" job. And do remember the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, no matter where you place the fence. [Linked Image]
