good question which i don't got the answer to.
Again, i would point you to alumnis. Ask your career counselor if they got s network of alumnis. Ask the guys currently working or even laid off to know what skills you should have. It's good you're thinking of what's useful or not for your future...
i donno if this will apply to your case. i was in a similar situation. specialize or go general?
honestly, i would go after whatever u find interesting. for me, id choose the one on E&M waves and optics. this is ur chance to broaden your horizens and see which field you like. One of my...
oh yeah also, find the professors who are most involved with industry to know which way the wind is blowing.
you can also simply just email prof if they're willing to talk to you at OH about career planning, what fields, etc. usually when you email them about jobs and careers, it's a really...
okok sorry i shoudla stuck to the topic. I can't answer whether CE or EE is better for employment. i would say to gambit that u should ask your academic counselor on which side is more in demand to boost ur job opportunitinies. However realize things change too.

ur prolly going to get jobs that won't be very research intensive. You might end up accrepting a job as a programmer because there aint anyhtign else out there.
you can try and keep loooking for research jobs, but what i think will happen is as you go through job search engines, you will just...
sorry for being so dense but, have u taken upper division physics yet??
If not, there is a great chance you'll find it boring. Which is good because it'll solve your dillema: i want to study somethign fun and interesting but there is no money, no jobs, no future, no nothing.
and since this is a text discussion, things mght get borign and won't sink in. Maybe you coudl listen to these news stories from Lou Dubbz on job prospects w/ these science degrees. This is just from my perspective, so take it as u will.
These vids were actually posted on an older thread like...
