It seems to have gone to hell. PLC programming anyone? I'd like to change trades and work in that field. The company that I work for only hires University grads to do their PLC programming. I've been working, setting up, programming CNC mills for many years. Is PLC that difficult?
I haven't been on this NG for years

Usenet, as a whole, has gone to hell. It's now land of spammers, trolls, political nut jobs.
I did an EE program at the local junior college. It's been a number of years ago, but I don't recall PLC logic being all that difficult.
I'd bet you could google up some tutorials on the web, just to get a feel for it. Your local college may offer seminars.
You really do want to complete an EE program though. PLC programming is just a part of the picture. Just as CNC programming is just a part of the machining trades.
Here is a good link in a neighborhood newsgroup. There are some good links in this thread.. :

The way we approach PLC training, no it is not difficult. See
