[AT] Agricultural Equipment Diagnostic Technicians was OT two university STEM majors to avoid

That might require some young millennial to get dirty. I know not all are
that way but from what I've seen, those that profess to want to be in
maintenance, most are. Exception are Latinos. And aptitude and ability also
aren't there. Those things can't be taught. Either you can or you can't.
I've witnessed screwdriver, wrench, and shovel skills that would make your
teeth itch. 
My brother wound up being a geophysicist after starting as a geologist. 19
years at Mobil, didn't survive the last of three purges in the 90s?
Consulting ever since. Does rather well. Lots of money in oil. Witness the
purchase of our government!

The Ferris catalog says the field is underfilled. I wonder if JD, CNH, Agco,
Kubota, Versatile, Mahindra, hire from this program.

Why Choose Heavy Equipment Service Engineering Technology (HSET)?
HSET provides the skills and knowledge required to test, diagnose, service
and repair multiple, interfacing and technically sophisticated systems used
on equipment in the agricultural, construction, forestry, stationary power
and trucking industries. Mechanical, electrical, electronic and hydraulic
technology are addressed, along with failure analysis, troubleshooting
procedures and techniques, metrology, product design for manufacturing and
fleet management. 
Career Opportunities
Increased use of heavy equipment in the agriculture, trucking, construction
and auxiliary power industries has created a widespread need for qualified
heavy equipment technicians. Estimates suggest less than half of the current
demand for technicians in this industry is being met, so skilled graduates
are already in high demand.

Employment opportunities exist throughout the various heavy equipment
industries. Job titles include diagnostic technician, technician, service
engineer, field engineer, service manager, shop foreman, trainer,
engineering technician and maintenance team leader.
