I'm putting in for a transfer within my company that will give me the same job I had when I was in the Navy - Electronics Technician. I've been a Telecommunications Analyst for about a year, which I like, but Electronics Tech is more of what I love to do.
Nothing gives me job satisfaction more than having schematics all over the place, taking my multimeter out, and testing circuits until I find the problem. It's a dying art with the modularity of everything now (pull this card out, replace with spare, see if it works), but this will give me the opportunity to relive it one more time.
Oh, and I'll only be working half the year, and the fact that my PAY WILL TRIPLE doesn't hurt either.
Cross your fingers, resume's getting freshened up this weekend!

Of course, really I'll never completely let it go even with this job; they want what we used to call ourselves while in the Navy - the Everything Technician. I'll be working on a PLC one day, then defragging/housecleaning a computer the next, perhaps troubleshooting the microwave link the next day, then back to building a junction box the next day. That's the beauty of it, I'll be bridging the gap between IT and Electronics Tech, a hybrid tech if you will!
