STOP! All that time spent in distractions to salivate the job hate is not doing you any favors....use it instead to pick up PCL! I speak from exp....my brother did exactly that...he is now a manager with good money and better employer.

I do have a PCL (you can find Allen Bradley or Seimens PLCs on eBay for cheap if you are patient, if anyone else is looking). I have learned to program and use it enough to know that I enjoy working with them, which is what set me on this path. Still good advice!
The trick is now rounding out that skill with a proper education on it and being able to show "yes, I did the work."

Google is mainly returning biology or construction terms and my brain is on vacation; what's PCL here?

It's either the Italian or Libanese Communist Party. But I don't think that's what they meant either.
They probably meant PLC, which OP mentioned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programmable_logic_controller
