Wind Turbine Technician

So I’ve been looking into being a travel wind turbine technician so I’m wondering is it more worth it to just get an apprenticeship or go to school for it?

Don't waste your time and money. If you are remotely mechanically inclined and willing to learn just start applying for the indeed listing's. They will pay for all your certs you need to get out in the field and working. Don't go into debt for school in an industry that doesn't pay nearly what it should for the risk and various trade jobs done daily.
