My names Dan and I'm new to this forum. I like it. Your all soooo above me I can barely see you, ha. Anyway I'm applying for Second Career funding here in Ontario to go back to school for Electronics Engineering Technician...I wanted full engineering 
but they only fund 2 years. I have some questions you'll see below for anyone who works, has worked or even knows the information to my questions to please help me. The more people who answer the better, I need at least 5, probably from Ontario but I'm not going to be pickie cause I'm sure the skills/abilities/knowledge will need to be the same anywhere, only changes according to industry products. I'll be presenting this as a package to the Ontario Ministry who will decide whether to pay for my education. If your uncomfortable answering here you can answer to d_deline69@hotmail.com
I have a diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technician-Industrial Mechanic, a.k.a. Millwright but never worked as one. Found it hard to find an employer to take a newbie on, they seem to like 5 years of experience. I've worked with Tool Makers and CNC machinist but I don't like this field. I thought this will widen my portfolio even for my own entrepreneurial desire.
There is no need for long essay answers, just to the point is fine unless you would like to tell me everything, that will be great. Let me know what you think.
