Not just pipe and wire

So lately in school and on the job I've been seeing the more technical side of the electrical trade. At Mona I've been a part of the life safety division which is basically fire alarm. Now fire alarm systems deal with a lot of control and have to be programmed which is usually done by 3rd party companies. Well to my surprise Mona actually have their own techs who are part of the local 26. These are guys who have seen the construction side of things and tenant side of things just like any other mechanic. It was kind of inspiring to me to see that there are more options out there for me.

At school we have been getting into dealing a lot with frequency, bandwidth, capacitors, inductors, and just about everything comprises a circuit. Now if you look at any circuit board such as motherboard from your laptop you will find all of these components plus more. The fact that I'm starting to understand the functions of these little things that used to be foreign to me makes me really start considering more possibilities for the future. I can probably be content dealing with construction for a while because I do enjoy working with my hands, but it I also have a very technical mind and think I could enjoy designing some systems. Who knows where the future will take me but its nice to know that I have one.
