>> My advice would be, you got to
go into it for the right reasons.
And it's not the money.
It's not the placement.
You have to, you have to love
with, ideally you love what you do.
At the very least I believe you
need to like what you're doing.
So if you're, if you're interested
in how things work.
I would say it extends beyond that just,
you know, you're good at math and science.
That's just, we found a lot of folks
that just didn't find, you know,
after seven years, this isn't working for me.
I can do the work, but it's not interesting.
So it really just has that gut of, you know,
are you doing it, did you find yourself doing it
in high school or throughout college.
Are you coding?
Are you hacking on a raspberry pie?
Or you know, somebody open source hardware or
software out there, are you tinkering in it?
If you are, then it's probably
the right career for you.
If you're just, you know, when
we hear I did some programming
or I did a little hardware design just in
this one class, that's usually a red flag
that you're not engaging beyond the coursework.
So, if you find yourself
just naturally gravitating
to that stuff, I think it's a no-brainer.
It's hard.
It's hard work.
But, it's worthwhile.
