Any of you Jow Forumsuys are PLC programmers? Started a Siemens course from my company, is it well paid? Do you get stressed out, how does it compare to other programming jobs?
From what I've seen I would love to do it because its not a söylent job.
Ask me in 2 years after I finish up my mechatronics engineering degree.

I program industrial systems for a living (plc, scada, robots, vision systems, pc programs, whatever). It's rather well paid if you're good at it. It's stressful because not only do you need to meet deadlines, you also need the programs to be bullet proof. Something wrongly coded can mean a death or millions of euros/currency your client loses when the machine stops.
From my experience the people working in the area don't give a shit about muh racism, muh quotas, muh micro aggressions. If you're good or always learning and improving, everyone respects you. If you're not, you're cast aside by your peers. For example, one of my coworkers is an african and he's REALLY good in this field. We still jokingly talk about his supposed mile long penis though.
Are you a perfectionist? You're going places. You're not? Sooner or later one of your machines will behave badly because of a bug and everyone will think you're an utter retard.
