Can't decide which job offer to take

[semicko82]

Haven't you been trying to break into IT? I would take the alarm tech job. It might led to a career working in the internet of things.

Unless they're really old, cameras, NVRs, access control systems, alarms, medical devices, etc. are more than likely connected to a network.

You can really get exposure to technical work that can't be outsourced or automated any time soon.

Yup
As a matter of fact my IT certifications was one of the main reasons why they wanted to hire me.
I didn't see the correlation between IT and alarm tech

Does either offer benefits? 401k? Medical insurance?

They want me to stay

They'll understand after you become successful. Don't get it twisted. The ones who love you can also kill your dreams

This is an easy decision, who the hell wants to paint airplanes?

Go low voltage. Higher ceiling. Better environments. More opportunities. You can do side hustles for more money, etc.

They pay is pretty good. That's the only reason why it's a tough decision

Yeah but what mobility do you have? It sounds like an industry you get stuck into for 30 years then retire.

Low voltage is everywhere in every industry. Residential, Commercial, Industrial. Plenty of companies and work to job hope.

You can get your A&P, and move into management or QA, but you're right compared to low voltage there's not a lot of options to move up in aircraft work

Update: I tossed both job offers

I worked the fire alarm technician job for a week and realized you don't much of a work life social balance

I also realized the white collar life is

I'm just going to do part time work until I complete my degree
