r/wind

Hi, i am a 23 year old graduate with a masters degree in mechanical and sustainability engineering. I love wind turbines and wind energy. Just to be specific what I am interested in is hands on work, travelling to sight, going into and on top of turbines to perform inspections and maintenance, I have been working an office job for a few months since I've graduated and this dormant office work life style is not suitable for me.

I am based in Ireland and I have been applying to various roles related to the wind turbine industry however it seems to me that if i wanted to be a technician I should not have got a masters degree... It doesn't look like my masters is actually very useful for this. In hindsight I should have just don't some sort of apprenticeship which would give me the necessary experience and qualifications.

I am wondering if anyone has any tips of advice for breaking into the technician industry.
