What jobs should I be seeking with these courses?

In summary, the speaker is an undergraduate EE student who has taken courses in telecommunications such as introduction to telecommunications, data communications, and digital communications. As they are in their final semester, they will not be taking a course on wireless communications. They also have taken the usual EE courses such as electronics, analog circuits, and embedded systems. They are wondering what career options are available to them with these courses and what jobs they should search for. When asked about EE related work experience, the speaker mentions trying to design an AM radio but was unable to due to school and learning other things such as VHDL, machine learning, and MySQL. They also mention not having the necessary equipment to test their project and trying to learn FPGA programming. The speaker is

I'm an undergraduate EE student, the last few semesters I have been taking courses in telecommunications. I took an introduction to telecommunications course, a course on data communications, and a course on digital communications. I have not taken a course on wireless communications and will not due to this being my final semester. I also have the usual EE courses such as electronics, analog circuits, embedded systems, etc. What careers are open to me with courses such as these? What jobs should I search for. Anytime I look for telecommunications jobs I see requirements that network engineers would have such as cisco.

Do you have any EE related work experience so far? Have you done any projects outside of class (built projects or written programs for your own use)?

No, I tried designing an AM radio but school got in the way and so did learning other things like VHDL, machine learning on python, and mysql for databasing. I also don't have the oscilloscope and signal supply to test it out. I was trying to learn how to program fpgas in the hope that there would be some projects I could do with that but I've yet to do that.

Does your university have a career assistance office? I remember that in undergrad, my university (UC Davis) had a pretty helpful career assistance center. They would be able to tell you what EE companies are looking for new graduates who do not have much experience yet.
