Better really to think what you like doing the most. Let me put it this way. Just say electrical engineering pays the most, but you don't like that particular subject. Its going to be very difficult to maintain your interest for 2-3 years whilst studying. I can almost guarantee that before you would graduate in that field, you would have lost all interest in continuing that subject if you didn't have a real feel for it and were only there thinking of the dosh. Can you see then, that's not the way to consider your subjects? \nBut on the other hand, if its a topic you really really enjoy, that will keep you going till you graduate. Anybody whose completed a degree will tell you that even though you can`t like all subjects you have to study, its the ones you enjoy the most that keep you going. I can also tell you that there will be many weekends you will spend in your pyjamas (yes no time to get dressed proper!) meeting deadlines for essays and turning down mates offers of a night out.But when you are earning those tons of money, it would have all been worth it. \nIn summary then, Im saying don't study for that pot o gold at the rainbow-study what you like, what your good at, what you enjoy etc. Only then Will the big money roll in on time. I hope you succeed anyway.

The future in India is good. At present there is a shortfall of talent in many engineering streams. If you are based in India, I am sure there are many job opportunities for you here. If you based abroad, come to India to broaden your horizons and view.\n\nYou haven't mentioned the specialisation- you are a design engineer in which stream of engineering?

First, if you want to have a good job and that pay good you need to continue your education. Now, as far as what to do, here you is up to you. You need to think on what you like, are you good in math? do you like to be around children? do you like to help other people? ask this kind of questions to your self and once you get the answers then look at the jobs out there. For example if you are good in math and you like to computers then you might want to go for a career like Engineering, Physics, Computer Science. And remember the higher eduction you get the more chances of getting a job that pays $60,000+

I just got into a bussiness of networking power for a company in Dallas Tx. It has really good potential to make a large amount of money for somebody interested in this type of work. You need to be living in Texas, Georgia or New York to do this bussiness at this time but will be gathering more states in time.

Definitely.  Unless you're academically inclined and college bound, an apprenticeship is ideal.  Make sure that it is training program that is trade union approved and that you are working under a good "master": eg.  good "master electrician," or "master plumber."  Licensed tradesmen and tradeswomen earn excellent money, and it is rather difficult to 'offshore' these jobs!  Another advantage--you won't have to pay a fortune when you hire an electrcian:-) Often you can take classes through adult education.  Good luck.

If you have very good grades and demonstrate a strong interest in electrical engineering, you can apply to as many schools as you can in the US.  Many student earn scholarships, so you can study in the US even if you don't have enough money.  Even if you don't earn merit-based scholerships, you can apply for financial aid or get school loans to pay back later.

well it depends of what u see yourself doing for the rest of your life..\ni'm majoring in ece.. it's hard it takes a lot of time, and most of the tmie i'm wishing i had studied something easier like cooking or something.. but then when i'm in class and the professor teaches us the architecture of processors and u picture yourself designing your own pentium 10 or something is soo cooool. the fact that the things you're learning are how the world works and that it is so much to do to improve it and that u are in capacity of doing it is the coolest thing. to know that the future of digital communications, the future of computer hardware, the future of security electronics is in the hands of your generation and that u can be an importat part of it is gratifying enough to keep investing most of my time on it

Hi there. Engineering quite a good career to go into. When you study engineering, you will find out that actually engineering student are mostly chosen by the work force. Sometime even chosen to be a sales personnel and so on. Engineering is not a bad field to go into. \n\nBut than my recommendation is to go for something you like. Don't just because you think that that field had no future or crappy and so on and choose not to join. \n\nAnyway i am engineering student. I think it is fun but tedious sometime.

There are lot of engineering careers and they are not all equal. Check this out.

You should not make a choice of a career based on what you think is a good employment field. You should make the choice based on what you like and what you are good at. \n\nAny prediction of  the employment situation 4 or 5 years from now is not likely to be very accurate. Any competent engineer will always do well. \n\nAlso many engineers end up working in field other than the one they got their degree in. One of the best mechanical equipment engineers in my company has a degree in electrical engineering.

Yes, but two things are very important to make this happen, and they are:\n\n1) You must be decently smart to be an electrical engineer.\n\n2) Out of the billions of people on the planet Earth, you must be one of the top 150 basketball players among these humans. \n\nMy advice: Forget basketball, concentrate on math.

You better go for electrical engineering, as the scope will remain open for you for both fields, but if you choose computer engg, you wil have one field open for you... you can be computer engg, even with electrical engg degree.... so better be in electrical engg.. good luck

Electrical engineering is the way to go and you will have to study lots of mathematics that is true for chemical engineering as well . If you like chemistry better go for chemical.All depends on your interest .You wouldn't like doing 8 hours daily a thing you have no interest in.If you go for MS and higher then I don't think there's much difference in career prospects.

I'm a little confused as to why a degree in Physics would get you a job in finance.  but anyhoo....  Yes there are lots of jobs out there in the engineering fields, especially if you specialize in solid state or fluid dynamics.

how about getting a REAL engineering degree. you'll be much better off.\n\nhey asswhopper\n\nyeah i am jealous, i have a BSME from one of the top 5 eng. schools in the nation.  your associates just blows me out of the water.

The number of electrical engineer jobs are plentiful depending on location.  From 2001-2004, there was a decrease in job availabilities for everyone.  Engineering companies were one of the hardest hit because of the dot-com bust.  \n\nPower engineering - also called power systems engineering, mostly handle designing and building power plants and power distribution.  Engineering consulting firms that build power generation plants hire power engineers.  Also designing power wiring for buildings.  EEs in this field are required to have their professional engineering liscense to be able to sign off before to be able approved to build anything by the state.  Power plants also hire power engineers to handle logistics and power distribution.\n\nElectronics engineer - designing and test electronics\n\nOptics engineer - designing and test IR, laser, radar, etc.\n\nRobotics - self explanatory\n\nBioengineering - a new branch of EE, designing and test medical devices.  I.e. artificial heart, lasers used for surgeries, different types of meters\n\nThe new rage: quantum dots, nanotechnology and biotech engineering\n\nPros: \n1 - It is a lot of fun and interesting.  \n2 - I get to tinker and explore something different everyday.\n3 - The pay is excellent.  Starting pay in my area varies from 57K-65K for BS in EE, 62K-75K for MS with less than 2 years experience.\n4 - The benefits are great.  Companies value their engineers a lot.  They will do anything to keep you from leaving, including giving 6 digit bonuses and days off.  \n\nCons:\n1 - Very stressful field.  When trying to meet a deadline, it is not uncommon to work 12-16 hours a day without overtime. (I even worked 28+ hours straight once)\n2 - Getting that degree took a lot of hard work and sacrifices.\n3 - Encounter useless arrogant MIT PhD graduate blowhards\n4 - Encounter sexist angry 70 year old engineers - one calls me "Hey you, girl, whatever your name is, come here!"
