Wrong. Process Tech schooling will open the door faster that just general knowledge. You must be able to take tests well because they are going to look hard at your IQ and they will give you a psych test. Stay clean because they will drug test you and do a background check. Stay away from drinking and driving and don't get a lot of tickets.

I have a P Tech degree and I am an operator and will tell you straight up that it wasn’t necessary. What I know now was learned mainly on the job. Sure, learning how distillation works and other P Tech school stuff is great as lagniappe, but not completely vitally necessary. Some of the guys we have who were pipe fitters and millwrights were actually further along than I was when brand new.
