WonderWare - Coding for industrial electricians (Score 1)

Have you heard of a programming language/environment called WonderWare? It's quite popular in the industrial manufacturing setting and it is specifically targeted to be used by electricians and electrical engineers. Half of the interface is graphical and half is actual (simple) coding, similar to QBasic. The purpose of the software is to monitor and manage assembly lines using voltage or current readings from basic sensors on the line. You can make a lot of money being a contractor or full time employee with knowledge of WonderWare or any similar software. As someone said earlier, play on your strengths. In order to get a job using a software product like that you usually first have to be a certified electrician, it sounds right up your alley. Most plants regard such software as a trade secret since it provides insight into their manufacturing process, so use your contacts and ask around to see if it is worth your time to learn. It should probably only take a year or two, maximum, to learn everything about it if you have no prior experience. The best way to get familiar with it is through a classroom setting as you probably won't find too many people willing to sacrifice their job security to teach it to you. Google it and check it out, don't forget to check out their competitors. Hope I gave you something to consider, good luck! :)
