Hi, I have a BE in Mechatronics and have been finding jobs hard to come by, and am interested in becoming a refrigeration engineer or electrician as these trades get paid pretty well and I think have some relevance to my degree.

My question is, does my engineering degree count for much in the refrigeration trade? Do many refrigeration engineers go and get engineering degrees to help there career or are they of no value?

Any insights would be great, I am new to refrigeration engineering and input would be greatly appreciated,

thanks
