In this forum, we see many guys who offer their help to who needs it. For certain, this help can't be offered or even can't be useful except after having at least some experience. But how much is here in this forum?? can it be calculated according to years in the field or number of projects invovled?? I'm sure the numbers will be interesting Rnf:lblSmileyTooltip_

I'll give it a start, I've been in this for about 8 years participating in 30+ projects other than services.

How about you???

The more you know, The more you know you don't know

Oh dear, I don't even beat you in the absolute number, not even talking about different scale...

Anyway, it's 18 for me, 18 months that is.

Before that I had some very brief experience with programming something like PLC in assembler, but mostly nothing really related (except perhaps for the part where I can laugh about anything in the primitive HMI used programming language (well, it feels really like laughing in the face of programming to say that) - VBS).

So there's no wonder everyone knows so much while I barely can tie up my shoelaces.

I don't see why people would still care about travelling salesman problem nowadays. You can simply buy stuff on the internet.

Well, spending so much years without career change must mean something. For me, I love this job (most of the time), especially when customer is happy and also when the stress is not too high. Sometimes it takes 5 more minutes to reach the solution, so the job is full of challenges and adventure as I have been into many industries grin

seeing different cultures and technologies.

The best part about that job, when I finish a project in a certain factory and go to the market with my friend and find the product of that factory, then I feel proud about it when I tell him, I made this Rnf:lblSmileyTooltip_

I expected that your answer would be different!!! astonished

I thought that you should experienced in automation field for at least 20 years.

10 years is not a short time specially with a person like you, Histro. Rnf:lblSmileyTooltip_

And this proves my old thinking that experience can not be measured by only years. But also how many problems you faced, solved, helped to solve, knowledge you know,...etc.
