Exploring This Job

You can develop your interests in computers and microelectronics while in school. Most high schools will be unable to keep up with the rapid advances in electronics technology, and you will need to read and explore on your own. Joining extracurricular clubs in computers or electronics will give you an opportunity for hands-on learning experiences. Joining national science and technology associations such as the Technology Student Association (https://www.tsaweb.org) will also provide useful experience. 

You should also begin to seek out the higher education appropriate for your future career interests. Your high school counselor should be able to help you find a training program that will match your career goals.
