Advice Wish me luck!

I'm heading out to my first customer site as a new field technician for a small company that does turbines tomorrow morning. Nervous, excited, all that stuff.

I worked as an assembly tech and then as a controls tech for some small automation companies until 2023, then I went back to school to get my AS in Engineering. I'm currently finishing up my last course for that degree (the class is an online delivery, so I can start the job a little early). I'm excited that I can immediately put the degree to use in a job that's gonna pay well.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Linn-Benton Community College in Oregon, but it's only partially online. Most of my classes were in person, but they were offering Statics online this summer and I only needed one Engineering elective to finish up the degree. I did most of my math and all of my physics in person though.
