- tedmiston 10y agoNot sure about farming but here in Ohio, I've heard similar roles in other domains called an "engineering tech" [1]. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_technician https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_technician
- tunap 10y agoIn AZ we now have drywall techs and landscape engineers. Don't assume these lofty new names accompany any sort of rise in wages, it's merely newspeak.
- randcraw 10y agoThe US military has had technical MOSes (mil. occupational specialty) for 40+ years that require specialized skills to maintain and repair the many nav, sensor, and weapons platforms they use. These definitely aren't mechanics. They often require ~two years of specialized training prior to 'shipping out'. Maybe the Navy's BEEP (Basic Electricity Electronics 'P') schools also should be looked to as how we might prepare specialists for future trades.
