Oh, hey I was referring to CrazCruz bud, no worries.
It sounds like in your situation the ME would be a benefit, but consider if you really need to get another degree or if you just need more ME skills/knowledge. Taking ME related classes to gain the skills while you are employed might be all you need to get the edge you’re looking for.
Where I work we have younger ID who has done a lot of ME related on-the-job training simply by learning from the ME’s and DE’s. He certainly has more new skills today than he did when he walked in the door a few years ago.
