Recently got employed at Bose as a Manufacturing Technician within their manufacturing sector for paper speaker cones. My educational background is an Associate's Degree in Electrical Technology. Because of my lack of employment experience and the limitations of an AS degree, I felt that it made sense to pursue this position.
I'm currently scheduled for the third shift at a total of ten hours per shift. The transition has been certainly one of the harshest experiences I have ever faced and already I'm resenting the daily repetition. I believed at the time and still do that this opportunity is beneficial in bolstering my job experience and learning how to understand how the mechanics and components that make up a large operation of machines.
My biggest uncertainties are : (Does this position help me progress further within different realms of engineering, how long should I continue this position, and how do I manage the night shifts without consequently sacrificing my health.
Edit: My interests are more aligned within electrical distribution through electronic components and sensor applications. I would love to pursue a field that emphasizes robotics.
