There is nothing at all wrong with a BS in Business Administration. Very easy degree, cheap....and opens to the door to middle management which leads to upper management. Engineers are underpaid tradesmen without the OT and union protection...trust me, I have a BS Degree in EE and a IBEW Ticket,,,,if I were using either to make a living it would be the latter and no doubt of it because it pays better and has far better benefits. I will NEVER work as an engineer at any level again....I have been both and being a tradesman is far better.....

and you could easily move and make way more as an EE and have a much better lifestyle in EE than what someone with the IBEW ticket can


I have done both as Im a certified pipe fitter, sprikler fitter, have nicets in both inspecation and design amongst a lot of other certifications. Also have my engineering degree and have done both blue and white collar


frick anyone that thinks blue collar work is better.

In your case...you are commercial....commercial electrician work sucks dick. Not sure how the union credits are where you are at and how the job market for EE is, but if its atlanta...if you wanted to do something besides typical power you could easily move into the controls, electronics side or just go into project management much easier and make way more than someone with an IBEW ticket.
