Quest for a Career

Decided I'll probably try to leave my current job later this year. Tired of having to fly out and commission conveyor belt logic. The dread on a Sunday night of having to go to work on Monday is like 9 times worse when you gotta go to the airport for it. Plus, even tho I'm a mechatronics major, software is probably my weakest of the three main parts of mechatronics and I'm real tired of messing with scl and fbd coding in TIA portal man.

I did engineering cause I like to create stuff, but tbh I didn't really have a plan for what to do with the degree. Think it would be rad to do stuff like R&D, Prototyping, movie set practical rigs, or like imagineering, but I definitely don't have enough experience to be hired into any of that stuff. If any of y'all know of jobs and stuff I could do to gain XP towards things like that that isn't countrywide/international field technician work, feel free to let me know. I'm still in the early stages of looking for leads to follow and I don't think typing robotics and mechatronics into LinkedIn like I did before I got my current job is going to cut it anymore brah.

Funfact, on my last job search before this one I saw an opening for a steamboat technician and thought it sounded rad but didn't have experience with steam engines or a permit to work on the water so I never really heard back
