/sci/ - Science & Math

BSEE here, graduated slightly over 3 years ago. I took a whole bunch of Power Systems classes (Power Circuit Analysis, Electrical Machines, Protection System Design, Electrical Wiring Design, Illumination System Design, and Power Electronics) that gave me an edge over everybody else.

Currently working as a Lead Electrical Engineer at a Nuclear Power Plant. My key advantage was that I knew more than more engineers who had 2-3 years experience as soon as I walked through the door and then I just kept getting better and made sure everyone took notice.

I always think of it as a competition and try to be better than everyone else. Granted, I'm one of the lucky few whose first job was in a field they like.
