My name is Hunter Turley. I am currently enrolled in the Instrumentation, Automation, and Robotics program at Perry Technical Institute. Instrumentation is the field that deals with measurement and data collection, and also the control of devices that manipulate, take away from, or add to a process. My dreams in the future include starting and providing for a family and growing my knowledge in this field. It is also important to me that I have enough time and money to do the things I love, such as golf and weightlifting. I also want to be able to do a lot of my own work around my house and not have to hire companies to do it for me. I hope that being in this trade will grow my knowledge of how different industries are automated. This trade is also very lucrative and will support my hobbies, along with the needs of life. I've always loved the circuit design aspect, along with the problem-solving part. I know that this trade can help with multiple aspects of my life unrelated to work. As I am writing this, I will graduate this coming December. I hope to continue growing in this field along with others. I have goals to become dual-traded as an E/I technician. I know this will help me expand my knowledge in the field and, because of this, become a more valuable employee. When I started the program in January 2024, I instantly knew it was the right one. Before touring the program, I had never heard of instrumentation. I toured through IT and HVAC. There were things I liked about both, but I knew that I wanted the hands-on with HVAC mixed with the math and computer science of IT. I then got a tour of the instrumentation program from a family friend, and it just clicked. After I graduate in December of this year, I hope to find a job in Alaska, working in the natural gas or oil industries. The two weeks on, two weeks off schedule appeals to me. After working in Alaska, I am also extremely interested in the field technician side of the trade. After I pay off school and work for a while in Alaska, I would probably find a local field technician job to have the ability to settle down, come home to a family every night, and build a life. I am extremely grateful I found a career path that will provide me with everything I need in life and more. As long as I do not lose sight of my goals, I can achieve anything. I know I am fortunate that my personality is hand-crafted for the rigorous problem-solving and calibration procedures required to become successful in the field. Overall, I knew as soon as I started this trade that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I enjoy every single day at school, and I always wake up ready for the day. I know that it will teach me valuable skills in every aspect of my life, and I know I will become a great technician with modern and simple solutions to complex problems. Even more so, I am excited for my future and the opportunity that this trade provides for me, and the things I will accomplish along the way.
