<p>I wanted to become a electrical engineer, but i heard that EE is diminishing because of the technology, i wanna know that which field has the brightest future?</p>
<p>Who told you that EE is diminishing? I don't see the demand going down anytime soon.</p>
<p>^^^ i saw it in one of the threads in this site, well, maybe i interpret wrongly cuz my english is not that good</p>
<p>What's with all these kids saying that EE demand is getting smaller? If anything the need for talented EE's is on the rise especially those with computer science skills.</p>
<p>Brightest future you ask? I've been hearing that biomedical and biomolecular engineers have very bright futures. Computer engineers of course have a great future as well...</p>
<p>RE: JoeJoe05 -i thought there were too many computer engineers in this country?</p>
<p>Too many CPE's in the U.S.? Where do you get your facts from? That is completely false. It's quite the opposite actually.</p>
<p>Which engineering gets outsourced the most? i heard it was electrical and computer science...</p>
<p>Re:JoeJoe05 - i thought at one point of these yrs, there were too many "computer guys" in the country, i dunno if they are computer engineers, but i assumed they are.</p>
<p>When did computer engineers become "computer guys"? That's like calling plumbers fluid system engineers.</p>
<p>i said i thought they were, then what is the computer-relating job that was popular in these yrs?</p>

<p>I think you may be referring to my earlier thread. I was concerned with the future of EE as a hot field for research/innovation, and not particularly with jobs (though this would affect jobs). As far as jobs go, EE has a great future. And CS seems to be on the rise, so if you're particularly concerned, take CS classes as well.</p>
<p>Is it just me or does this topic come up about once a week?</p>
<p>EE, CompE, and CS are all fine fields with fine futures. So are most other engineering disciplines, really.</p>
<p>All engineering degrees are in the highest demand. You can goto any school, major in engineering, and land a 55k+ job. And EE/CE are imo in the highest demand, because not only can you get engineering jobs, you can also get IT, consulting, business related jobs. If you graduate with decent grades with a degree in EE, and can't get a job, there's something wrong with you. Never listen to the media bs, they had all these kids chasing those finance jobs, thinking that engineering jobs get outsourced, look at them now.</p>

We should make a sticky on "everything you should and wanna know about engineering" just like they did on business-major forum.... ^^</p>

<p>Agreed 100%</p>
<p>Outsourcing has been blown way out of proportion due to the media. If outsourcing was a problem then there wouldn't be a shortage of engineers in the U.S. </p>
<p>Business/finance majors are easy and the jobs they do are not that complicated, hence why engineers are known to go into these areas without even majoring in it! The odds of getting rich with one of these degrees are about the same as the odds of an engineer landing it big with some breakthrough design.</p>
<p>I would think nuclear engineering is on the rise if we ever switch to alternative energy.</p>
<p>If you're up for some "travel abroad", nuclear engineering can be an extremely lucrative profession. Just make sure you're not a homosexual or have any semitic inclinations and you're in! (for those of you who get this, good for you! :))</p>
<p>^^^^^</p>
<p>Nuclear Subs?</p>
