Electronics and telecommunications engineering-technician here. Never got my Engineering degree.
After graduating with honors, the plan was to start working, getting some experience, making some money, and eventually go back to college to get my engineeering degree.
Little did I know the labor market would teach me that taking my father's advice of pursuing a technology related degree instead of an arts degree was a terrible choice as I was considered by many employers a mediocre technician (at best).
I'd eventually try to pursue an arts related carreer, but at my age, it was too little too late.
Let's hope CTB is the only thing in this life I won't fail at.
