Is instrumentation a good field of work?

Instrumentation doesn't make very good pay, at around $47,080 a year. But people who have done instrumentation have recommended the career, saying it was interesting and actually better than it's made up to be. I would say that it is a bit of a complicated topic, and you can try searching around yourself to see what others have said.

I found a page that can tell you about the years you would need for certificates and programs of instrumentation technicians. Look here. I think it should give you your answer.
