Dear Looee,
Don't rely on your teacher's encouragement, but on the other hand, don't fault them for it. I taught electrical professionally for 10 years and part of the job is to encourage. For the last six months work has been painfully slow, but I think we are all anticipating an economic turn-around starting about now. Proper technical eduction is great...just be sure to temper it with experience (callouses, blisters, cuts & burns, and tired feet....I just turned 52). Take everything you learn from one job and apply it the next. Good luck...Burns M.
