6. A Day In The Life of An Industrial Electrician/ Maintenance Technician
While at work, they ride bicycles; which are typically used to carry supplies and tools.
From what I have observed in my time spent at Continental is that the Maintenance workers really don’t do much.
Unless a machine is broken, they pretty much just ride around on their bikes or shoot the bull with people.

8. Concerns Technology is constantly changing.
There could be a new machine that you don’t know how to fix.
It’s a dangerous job.

9. Why I Chose This Path Short amount of time spent in school
The Industrial Electronics & Maintenance Technology course at Rend Lake College is a two year program, which includes a short internship
Good starting salary right after school.
I can make around $49,000 right after college.

10. From Here to There I am going to Attend Rend Lake College.
During my degree, there is an apprenticeship program.
Once I complete my schooling, I will start full time doing Maintenance at a factory such as Continental Tire.
