Why did I choose Industrial Technology:
Curiosity and budget restraints caused me to select BS in Industrial Technology. I was curious for that time as it was offered first time by the school of which, I graduated from High School with an electrical vocational course that’s why I pursued Electrical Technology as my course of specialization. Besides, it's a baccalaureate degree without a required board examination.
About my college education:
Enjoyed my first two years of academics and practical laboratory studies as if it was just a review of my high school lessons. I had difficulties on my third year that time due to more on individual reporting and discussion. It was more fun and adventurous during the last year of being on-the-job training.
My current job:
Working as Project Coordinator/Certification & Completion Management System Administrator within a prestigious international engineering consultancy company that deals on oil and gas operations.
Am I using what I learned in college:
Theory/Practical laboratory, math and business writing.
How long did it take to find a job:
10 months!
Do I recommend studying Industrial Technology:
I recommend BS in Industrial Technology for those who are interested in the concept of Engineering and technically enthusiastic but have not enough budget for a baccalaureate degree of more than four years.
Salary may vary from US$ 750 to US$ 1,500 if able to work abroad.
Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course:
Plan your journey to college very well. Consider their location (convenience to travel); financial capability of your parents/guardians; always think for "Plan B", as well; on-the-job-training can help for potentially immediate employment upon graduation, etc.
