Diagnostic skills are very useful. Go find something to take apart. This part is important ==> Unplug it first, then take it apart. learn how it works, then put it back together. After your skills increase, you can take apart things that are still powered. Here's why:
If you can look at something, a pump, a power supply, an ice cream machine, etc.....and envision how it's working inside, you can imagine all the possible ways it can fail, and predict how to fix it if it's broken, which also leads to imagining all the ways something can be improved or modified or rebuilt to do something else. Then just invent a new gadget and become wealthy, retire, and sit back to enjoy life with no stress or worry.
That's the short version, the long version involves the number 42. ...and who/what is Stusen?
Read and study. Find things that make you wonder how they work and study them. Drive your knowledge bases on things that interest you and you begin a lifelong learning process.
People & communication skills. Resourcefulness is another, practice by always asking questions to learn different approaches. Hopefully math and electronics are already taught well, you just have to stay the course.
Grammar can be complicated but especially spelling errors in a headline/title are fundamental to get right. Otherwise, it isn't very reassuring to any employer.
There are spelling checkers built in everywhere these days, even my music player has it.
Where would you like to end up.or don't you know that yet.
have you looked at Ham radio and building a HF transceiver
so many Amater's would help
Or play with arduino like others
I have been doing electronics repairs for 38 years .
I started by doing car stereo and radio cassette
all domestic stuff wants a price first
and that keeps your wages down.
Why do people buy cheap stuff that only last for 2 years
along the way I have done medical and oil industry repairs
Nice to do instrumentation but hard to get in to
interesting doing automotive and marine repair or modification
I enjoy the industrial challenge
"never a question on price" just the time
so many machines have very little support
or a diagnostic menu of any use
By your points I assume you are new to the site and the E14 Community. Welcome.
Other than providing a response to your question, I'm curious as to why you ask the question to this forum?
the school or uni will teach you all important things.
One skill you'll have to work on, is getting the love for the subject. Enjoying working with / on electronics. Getting hungry for new info.
And to keep the love and hunger alive after education finished.
Written and oral communication skills.
You can have awesome technical talent, but if you cannot explain what you are doing to management, you will fail.
It took me a number of years to realize this important fact.
Once I developed good communication skills, I was able to get management behind my ideas.
