I am enrolled in college this fall to start my electrical engineering
degree.  I am currently an electronic tech with the Postal Service.  Not
much satisfaction in it.  I started studying microcontrollers for fun and
it all snowballed from there.  The only line that I am familiar with is
the PIC line.

Anyway, I hope that the switch in careers will be as satisfying as doing
the hobby on my own.

Any tips from anyone that was/is in a similar situation?
