I have an offer as an EO and also another offer as an engineer in an unrelated field at a medium sized firm. The EO position seems really attractive, plenty of hands on experience, good hours, and more than fair compensation, but I want to get back into engineering within 5 years. I was just wondering what type of opportunities there are and if it's even possible for me to get back into engineering, get a PE and a masters etc. Ops is something I can do now, but in 5 years I don't think I'm going to want to be under that sort of stress with the odd schedules and long days and such.
Any advice or opinions are welcome.
Thank you.
