> How to get into the chip industry? If your idea of a chip industry is that part of the industry that physically makes chips... then most likely you don't. Very likely more than half of people who venture into this career, and successfully graduate will never see any work in the field. Just like in the medical field, a tiny amount of people end up being practicing doctors, and more than half end up in "near med" fields, from pharmacists, to nurses, and .. to an analogy of quack doctors despite high salary potential for the most lucky. Let's begin: 1. First, be born Taiwanese 2. Second, finish EE PhD at around 15-20 years ago, at maximum 3. Third, get through the glut of other young engineers who ventured into the field at the crest of the dotcom boom wave 4. Fourth, be lucky to selected for hire upon completing a long unpaid internship 5. Fifth, spend your first 3-5 years in a role of office coffee porter, and such 6. Sixth A, be lucky to be finally selected by somebody for actual RnD work 6. Sixth B, go and work as a fab tech at $2000 USD a month
