Check out biomedical engineering if you get a chance... that is really the hottest engineering discipline right now...\n\nBUT, I would choose electrical engineering since you can do SO MUCH with that degree: Power engineering, RF/microwave, computers, software, circuits, system engineering, nano-engineering.... \n\nI also know of some electrical engineers who work as mechanical engineers... so in any event you are never really stuck... \n\nAlso, know that electrical engineering is the closest engineering discipline to pure physics... \n\nBUT choose mechanical engineering if mechanical doo-hickeys fascinate you... you are good with your hands... you like math.... you are comfortable using CAD tools on the computer.... you feel comfortable in a machine shop.... \n\nIn terms of the JOB MARKET.... as long as you get good grades in college you will get a job... TRUST ME. Good engineers are a rarity... ALSO, if you learn a foreign language like Chinese or Korean than the job recruiters will be knocking your door down.

Many technical fields have some sort of technician entry level that don't rely on a degree. Why not try your local careers centre there is a book called Ocupations which lists jobs with their route of entry... good luck!

It depends more on the program than the college.  Any tech school will give you a degree in two years that is intended to place you in a job, for example radiology or welding.  At the four year level, teaching and engineering degrees tend to be the best for instant emplyoment.  \nIf you are very smart, and like math and science, find a school like Texas A&T, Colorado School of Mines, South Dakota School of Mines, MIT, Florida A&M etc. and go into civil, mechanical, or electrical engineering.

Get in touch with the relevant Professional Institution for details of their qualifications and what courses lead to them. Initially, look up their web sites! For Electrcal Engineering, there is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (Http://www.ieee.org), which is international and has national sections. For computing, in the United Kingdom where I live there is the British Computer Society (http://www.bcs.org), and there will be an equivalent in most overseas countries.\n\nAgain in the United Kingdom, the Open University is a leading provider of on-line courses (Http://www.open.ac.uk)\n\nThere are limits to the extent you can study Electrical/Computer Engineering on-line because you will need to do practical work to get a worthwhile qualification.

Computer Science and Electrical Engineering are good, but most schools have Information Systems as a degree program now.  Information Systems or Information Technology is the best major if you are looking to just be a network admin.

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.

Try and get as fit as possible, study hard and apply to a good college and try to get a relevant engineering degree. Electronics and Communications are good choices, but I would suggest Aerospace as it has a lot to do with spacecraft and such (I'm an aerospace student myself and I hope to get into NASA someday).

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.

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!"

Yes! Electrical engineering, especially with a concentration on electric propulsion is our future. Internal combustion engines are on the way out and electric motor controls, fuel cells and hybrids are on the way in. You have no idea how tough it is to find engineers with experience in these areas and they are commanding large salaries when you do find them.

There isn't such a thing.  I would suggest you find out what the correct name of the degree you are looking to attain and go from there.

If you are looking for a bachelors degree: my advice is if you think you want to get into mech eng. then just do it. You can always switch to another field for your masters.\n\nWhat I did was opt for Physics because it offers a science base -- in case you want to change majors/fields in the future. \n\nAnd frankly, I never regretted choosing Physics (at IIT, Chicago).\n\nbut whichever field you choose, never lose sight of your goals and interests. You likely are unaware of these right now (if just starting college) so just find the place that feels right for the time - -you can even switch-up in a year and choose Physics, or electrical, or hell, even Architecture (I would have liked architecture -- but it's not a regret. I have a great appreciation for it having been a Physics student).

Computer Science degree is the best way to go.\n\nWith additional studies in multi-media and sound engineering.

What exactly do you want to know? And, how much education do you have, or are willing to pursue?\n\nI haven't heard back about what field you want to pursue, but I will share some information that you might find interesting.\n\nFirst, there are A LOT of different branches of electronics. Even in microelectronics, which is my field, there are analog microelectronics and digital microelectronics. My speciality is analog microelectronics. It's harder to learn analog microelectronics, but the pay is much better and the demand for these kind of engineers is high when compared to digital microelectronics.\n\nIt really boils down to how good you are in math, science, and physics. A BSEE takes four years of college. A MSEE, which I have, can take another three to four years after your BSEE. Don't pursue a Ph.D unless you plan to teach in college, or limit yourself to being hired by only the large corporations (HP, Intel, etc) or the government. It's very hard to find employment if you have a Ph.D.\n\nAlso, think carefully, or ahead actually, about where you would like to live. Being an engineer like me restricts where you can live. I'm saying this compared to a teacher, a doctor, or even an accountant.\n\nIf you don't want to spend four years in college, but still want to pursue something in electronics, you can get an associate's degree (2 years) from a local community college. However, after getting a job, see if you can get tution reimbursement and pursue your BSEE. You'll get a lot more money if you do and you'll be more marketable.
