There&amp;#x27;s just something extremely &lt;i&gt;dignified&lt;/i&gt; about them. Like finally growing up after the childishness of strip-mining. The adults are here.</text></comment>

Three months here 6 months there.&lt;p&gt;Embedded software is extremely hard to do mobile, and anyways all of the electronics tech is designed in Germany.&lt;p&gt;Getting a entry level job in wind is about being nearby and willing to work. If you have a college degree you can always be a field Engineer.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m an Electrical Engineer in the wind industry now, previously I was in the field, and previously I was an embedded software&amp;#x2F;hardware engineer.</text></comment>
