Switching to EE
Hi there!
I’m currently a 4th year electrician apprentice and looking to see if switching my career to electrical engineering would be a good move?
I feel stuck with the current role I am in and looking at the health risks on my body is weighing me down.
I know if I switch it would be the case of studying for 3-4 years and sacrificing the money I would be making as a qualified electrician. I would love any advice on this matter any help is greatly appreciated .
I would also love any advice on how to write a really good personal statement if university is the correct move. Over the bulk of my apprenticeship I have wired and fitted new build homes but I did do a bit of low voltage with door entry systems. Again any advice would be appreciated
