    Best Field in Electrical/Electronic Engineering

    I read that I shouldn't specialize but instead I should try to be a general, broad guy. At the same time, I hear how it's difficult to learn different specialties and industries in order to keep myself flexible. I don't know right now where to draw the line between diversifying my skills, but...

    Thanks xnuke. That may be a problem. I have no problems with electronic work right now, but I believe most of that work is with computer chips. My senses tell me that computer chip designs can be outsourced, and I do not want to be in the position where I fear my job will be the next to be...

    Thanks Trchambe! I can see what you mean when you say the age of 35 is a magic number: I in my 20's right now and "10-15 years" later is around 35 to me. The only problem that concerns me is that any electrical power engineering job in the market today require about 5 years experience. As a...

    Best Field in Electrical/Electronic Engineering

    Hi. I am thinking of joining electrical/electronic engineering. I did some reading on the internet, and I found that electrical "power" engineering and electronic engineering with computer chips to be very popular. There seems to be a lot of jobs in those two areas. To any...
