Training or taking a class or spontaneous enlightenment
(1/1)
depot:
Lately I feel down on the hobbyist attitude that goes like, "pick up a project and learn as you go".
But also some engineer co-workers give feedback that I could do more things professionally. And it's the kind of feedback that stings a bit, like it's 50% or more true. In college days we wrote reports all the time and explained many nuanced design decisions and worked through calculations. These days my attitude is more to expect something like a switching regulator to work and tweak it later if something is wrong. College was only 5 years ago. I foresee that I might become one of the engineers laid off early in favor of younger people.
Cash is king of course, so I really, actively want to avoid wastes of time.
But there are a lot of things I could try to pick up, especially that boring mess of things related to standards. Maybe what I'm really looking for is something about technical communication. Or even like how Dave Jones here makes his youtube videos explaining some concept.
Do any of you happen to vibe with me? Perhaps offer some suggestions? Thanks ahead.
If there's some worthwhile online training I can probably even wrangle some boss to pay for it for me, but I'm not sure if they get the same kind of "employee training tax write off" that people in the states get.
