I've always considered myself an instrumentation guy. However, I've worked on controlling processes practically all my time in this field.
I used to work for a process controls contractor and that was where I learned everything I needed (except for Basic Electronics - I learned that in vocational school ). Then I started working for my present employer, a food manufacturer.
Watching my mates and newer employees perform, I am appalled by the seeming lack of skills and knowledge that I consider important to work in instrumentation and controls. In the very near future, I intend to shift from using my skills for the sole benefit of a company to using them to teach others who may want to enter this challenging field. Oh, and those who want to learn more too!
