Posted 10 Sep 2021 i would say do not specialize on one thing. technology is evolving and products are changing but principles are the same. if you learn one product, that will be of little use to work with another. but if you know principles you can easily adopt and work on any product learn general computing, programming etc. this should prepare you for anything software related. get involved in programming and cover as much as you can handle. at the lowest level learn about data types, bit and string manipulation, but do not stop there. learn about electrical circuits and focus on function on things like basic components and circuits (R, L, C, Diode, transistor, scr, transformer), this will allow sizing transformers, PSU and interfacing to other equipment, understanding of galvanic isolation etc. math is one thing most people avoid. but this is really empowering. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 10 Sep 2021 Seeing the post from @panic mode made me think of another area to also get some training on if you're going into automation, don't neglect the mechanical. Many times the best programs are foiled by a rusty bearing. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
