Good luck.

Couldn't of said it better my self.
Power Engineering is a great career to get into but its not for everybody. I am a second class that has been working in the oilsands for around ten years now and love it but like CR5 says it can be dirty and labour intensive at times. It can also have alot of A#S time to it as well.
If you have good troubleshooting skills, jack of all trades, don't mind working shift or away from home than power engineering may be a good choice.
Good luck with your decision.
