Path kit
A $5 guide to workplaces, job titles, schools, and a path into controls work.
How people actually get looked at for this work.
Workplaces. Titles. Schools. Courses. How the week starts — not how to draw a print.
Path kit
$5 · digital zip · Markdown + printable PDF
In the kit:
- Workplaces — panel shops, OEM builders, integrators, plant maintenance, utilities. What a week looks like.
- Job titles — wireman / panel builder → controls tech → field / PLC. What the words mean vs the work.
- Schools — programs that actually get you looked at. Named ones only when we have walked them. No invented catalogs.
- Courses / certs — time vs resume wallpaper. Honest.
Not in this kit: schematic literacy (that is Wiring). Shop-floor exit gates (that is the $29 pack). Live help (that is Work).
After pay: the zip should download when checkout finishes. Email is a backup and a Substack door, not the product. Open pdf/00-start.pdf first. Personal / one-person license.
