Hello, I am 29 years old and have 11 years welding experience in all processes and have also received my associates degree in general studies from a local community college. My question, in your opinion should I quit my full time job, move away and go back to school to get my bachelors in welding engineering? I am in Lancaster Pennsylvania and am looking into going to Pennsylvania College of Technology which is 2 hours from me. Also have looked into OSU's Welding Engineering program. The only downfall of going to OSU is the tuition for a non resident is 11K a year more. Has anybody heard of Penn College of Tech? What pay could I expect when I graduate and is any company going to hire a 30'ish welding engineer with no engineering experience?
Thanks for your help.
Chris
