I want some information from those who are currently situated their career as an engineer, I want to know how competitive it is for an engineer to find and expand their career?
I often get conflicted information from search engine results, I know the answer varies from situation to situation, but I didn't expect them to be that different. Some say an engineer would start off at 80k a year and growing, some say a six figure is quite usual and making as much as those wall street jockeys is well within anticipation, while some say 48k a year would more likely be the case. Some went even further to say that one shall not be so optimistic because those companies that hire engineers are taking quite a hit from the recession so job opportunities are shrinking drastically.
As for the problems of which realm makes the most, some say biochemical engineering while some strongly oppose this view and insist on electronic engineering and software engineering, and interesting enough, there are still voices claiming that people in these two fields are a dime a dozen.
So what do you have to say about this? Any information would be appreciated. Also, what's the life of an electronic engineering specialized in embedded system developing are like, in the United States? Tedious and boring or challenging and refreshing?
Thanks in advance!
