  1. Hello Jeremy . Thanks for the reply. Your input is really helpful. I worked at Medicia pharmaceutical it was located in Dayton,NJ . I believe I am going to take the two PLC programming and the motors and controllers courses. Do you think a digital circuits course would be a waste of time? I might have to consider the robotics course because includes fluid power theory and many jobs specifically ask for that kind of training. Thanks again. I really appreciate the advice of experienced professionals. Sincerely, Moises.
  2. Hello everyone. I worked as packaging mechanic for 8 years but the company closed in march 7/2014 . Because of this I have to consider going back to school. When recruiters call me they always ask if I know PLC or HMI . The community college in Camden,NJ offers a PLC programming certificate which includes 3 courses : PLC programming ,Advanced PLC programming and Motor,controllers and sensors. I think is a good starting point considering I have no experience with PLC. What about HMI should I take a C++ programming course ? what other courses should I take for electrical automation? I am thinking robotics,digital circuits ,electrical circuits,AC , DC,microprocessors .Please feel free to make suggestions. Should I pursue a career as a PLC programmer ? What they normally do in an everyday basis? Where do they spend most of the time in a production floor dealing with machines or sitting all day in a cubicle in front of a computer ? I like working with my hands and I loved working in the production floor taking care of machines or washing those dirty fillers I prefer that rather than staying in a cubicle all day long . I like computers and the programming part but I want to avoid working in front of one 60hours/week. In the past I worked as a computer drafter spending all day long in front of a computer and I hated it. The word "programmer" makes me think they do that. am I wrong?. I know I asked too many questions but I think it is better to ask now than later. I really appreciate any comments,suggestions or advice because I have to take a decision. THANKS. Moises.
