Planning on getting the C2.

Problem: Minimal space where I'm staying and there's not many places I can put the erg (garage too small for erg + car), no back/front yard.

Only suitable spot is next to the study room desk that all housemates share and I don't want to cause a fuss if i'm trying to row while they're trying to work on things.

Just curious.

Researching schools I found that not all schools focus on the same things, automation, robotics, systems integration, electronics, ect. and it got me wondering, if you went to a school that focused on automation, and moved to an area where graduates are were trained on a different focus, like embedded systems, would that help/hurt your job prospects?

The closest mechatronics 4-year program near me focuses more on industrial automation and wonder if it'll hurt my prospects if i moved somewhere else.

Brushing up on pre-calc to get a foundation for studying calculus to pass the calculus clep exam.

but it feels like i'm not learning, and more like just figuring out enough to pass the clep exam.

I've tried different methods; explaining to rubber ducks (its' actually a stuffed bear), spaced recall (both are hard for me because of a head injury, i have an easier time looking at a problem than just trying to recall something and explaining it), and a few others method si can't remember what they're called right now.

so what have you tried/done that seems to help learn/understand a topic, in particular math stuff?

I was comfortable with SQL (previously worked as a jr dev), but not sure how to combine it with ab plc's. Internship "mentors" arn't really helpful.

No background in networking and am thinking of taking my school's CCNA I course over the summer.

Shop primarily uses AB plcs and faunac robots.

And do you think you'd ever try to jump back into tech? Especially if you're under 5 YOE.
