Engineering Civil engineering OR Electronic Engineering?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the decision between pursuing a major in Civil Engineering and Electronic Engineering. The individual notes that while Civil Engineering is associated with a better college and potentially higher salaries, it may involve challenging work conditions, such as remote locations for extended periods. In contrast, there is a stronger personal interest in Electronic Engineering, which is perceived as more suitable given their skills in mathematics. Participants in the discussion suggest that if the primary motivation for choosing Civil Engineering is financial, then Electronic Engineering may be the better option due to its mathematical rigor and versatile career opportunities. Ultimately, the individual leans towards Electronic Engineering, emphasizing the importance of choosing a career aligned with personal interests for future success.

Now it's my time to choose my major,I will choose from Civil Engeering and Electronic Engineering.In my university,Civil Engeering College is better than Electronic Engineering College,I may get a higher salary if I choose the previous one,but the work may be tougher(I may stay at a very remote place to build a bridge for several mouths,and can't go home).However,I feel I have more interest in Elcetronic Engineering,I feel I am suitable for it,resently I am learning Theoretical Mechanics(A very important course for Civil Engineering),I also think it is interesting...
So I am very confused about it.I wander which kind of person is suitable for learning these two majors,I am good at mathematics,which one do you think is better for me?I am waiting for your suggestions,many thanks!

If Electronics Engineering = Electrical Engineering, go for that one.
 
If money is the only thing that made you think about Civil E. Go for Electric E. It has a lot of math.versatility and arguably a pathway for even more money then CE.

Thanks for you advice,I think I will choose EE,I must choose a career that I like,I will do well!
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
