Hi Lois,
The most valuable courses I have taken include physics (impressed the
engineering managers who have hired me), AutoCAD (impressing factors again,
plus I use the software a lot in my work), and Visual Basic and C++
programming courses (I am using FrameScript to do some great things in my
current position).
>From my experience, self-study is as valuable as courses, provided you have
a degree. I'm still working on the degree (one more year left!), so I have
a different title. Supposedly, it won't make any difference in my salary,
but we'll see. ;-)
Good luck,
Lisa B.
