相约北美 / 移民留学 / Ｈelp! Any information on PLC or SAS?hi, there?

Did anybody know anything about PLC or SAS ? Are they hits on the job market? Is it easy for people in these fields to find a job, especially new graduates? Where can I get some information on these fields?

Thank you for your information in advance! -guest:; 2001-4-29 {268} (#57117@0)

Yes, programmable logic control. My friend wants to invest his money and time to learn this, is it a good idea? Furthermore, I'm a medicine and biotech major, should I turn to SAS, the statistic software? Will it be easy to me? -guest:; 2001-4-30 (#57836@0)

I do not think it is very hot right now. The technology belongs 20 years ago. If your friend have lots experience, it may be not hard to find a job. But to learn it from a beginner is another story.It is just my 2 cents. I could be wrong, because right now I am not in this field. -xuhp(LOST); 2001-4-30 {82} (#57845@0)
I used SAS several years ago in a health institute in China and included it in my resume. Last year one agent asked me if I'm interested in it.I said I almost forgot it. There're really some chances for it. PLCs skills are the most important skill for a control system engineer(Also can be called as Electrical Engineer). What's your friends background, if he/she worked in such fields, it's better to know the popular products in North America, like Allen Bradley PLCs and Siemens PLCs. -guest:racoon; 2001-4-30 {347} (#57856@0)

Thank you all for replying. My friend is an electrical engineer, but he didn't have any hands on or on site experience in PLC before. Instead, he worked for a design institute in China and works as a autocad drafter here. And for me, I'mworking in a bio-lab now, 31K/year. Do you think I should learn SAS to get a better job while I know nothing about math and statistics? -guest:; 2001-4-30 {135} (#57861@0)

Thank you very much. By the way, you really sounds like an expert. -guest:; 2001-4-30 (#58131@0)
