About two years ago I made a decision to return to school when I got laid off from Honeywell Aerospace. The job that I had at Honeywell Aerospace was outsourced to a company in Mexico. This wasn't the first time that I have lost a job to cheap labor in another country under NAFTA. I believe I have lost my job 3 times thanks to NAFTA My reasoning at the time was based on the fact that my line of work would be outsourced or moved outside of the country and I realized that as I get older it would have been more difficult to find work at least at the salary that I needed for day-to-day living. Not to mention that the opportunity of finding the same job that I have trained for when I went to University the first time was not really in demand. Technology is in demand all the time but not my line of work. I am an engineering tech for electronics, or what was called back in the day an Electronic Technician By returning to college to update my skills I was trying to be marketable...
Don't be fooled by the Title. It is all about me... sometimes.
