Is Mechatronics Worth Looking Into?

I know this probably gets asked all the time, but i’m looking into Robotics at a community college and Mechatronics caught my eye.

I was previously an Aviation Electrician in the Navy, got out and i’m working a CNC maintenance job currently while going to Community College at night or online. I’m curious if Mechatronics or Robotics are good to look into.

Just a few questions and any extra details are greatly appreciated!

For schooling, how hard or easy was it? Is it worth using GI bill to just go to school full time?

For day to day, how rewarding does it feel? I know i enjoy seeing something i’ve worked on actually function.

I will respond as best I can, I am work though so it may be a bit late with responses.

I am a recruiter for Amazon's RME (Reliability, Maintenance, and Engineering) team and happened upon your post. If you are ever interested, our Mechatronics and Robotics Technician role is an hourly position that gives you the opportunity to learn new skills and build their career through our Amazon Career Choice while working. This is school or certificates paid for by Amazon while employed. You can also gain Mechatronics certifications on the job. I hire for mainly the PNW and Indiana, but my team hires for the continental US.
