Comments: I used to fix 'em (as an FC) and now I design 'em (as a Lead Electrical Engineer). As part of my duties I also interview candidates. A piece of advice to those retiring - that piece of paper (Bachelor's Degree) at the time I retired (2000) was worth a difference of $11,000 per year (being a junior Engineer vs being a senior technician). I currently hold a Master's Degree in Computer Info Systems. Your degree should also be related to your rating if possible. Have someone review your resume - I have done that with some of my FC shipmates and will gladly do that for any technical folks.
