Agree.
I did electrical engineering at university in the UK. All of my colleagues are either unemployed or doing something completely different. Half our tech team were engineers. They write boring business code, not mangle with fluid dynamics, jet engines or biotech as promised by the marketing for years.
- anoonmoose 13y agoWell, while we're tossing out anecdata, the portion of my 2010 graduating electrical/computer engineering class cohort that I am still friends with are all happily employed in jobs that align with our background. As am I. Not saying your experience is wrong or inaccurate, but it's not absolute. We went to a public state university in New England for whatever that's worth.
- darksim905 13y agoWhat do you consider electrical engineering? What did they teach you in class versus what you would use today/not use? Are there jobs out there/do you continue to look & see what's out there in your field or are each of you stuck in your respective roles?
- bananas 13y agoWell anything from embedded systems (even high level java) down to VHDL. What did they teach us in class that is of use today? Very little. We did all the mathematical requirements of programming (which for most are very little) at school. About as close to EE I get these days is fixing stuff and that's something anyone can do. Do I look? - not after 15 years. Do I long? - of course.
