Jokes apart, I am actually extremely interested in thermodynamics and anything solar energy-related. I'm currently into designing for manufacturing and construction but would like to look into solar energy engineering. What would be my biggest challenge with the shift?

It's all about what kind of learning curve you're ready for. Your previous experience will surely come in handy, however, solar energy engineering requires specialized knowledge in photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar thermal technologies, and energy storage. Learning about solar cell materials, system efficiency optimization, and how solar technologies interact with the grid could be a steep learning curve. Are you okay with that?

The shift would be like most others, as long as you have a good foundational knowledge you should be able to build off of that. I would say to start talking to people and try to find somebody in the business and then figure out what technical things you would need to look at.

I have turned down a Sr. position at a direct competitor to stay. How can I bring this subject back up to my supervisor?

I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
