Engineering What high paying low competition jobs/fields can a recent grad in electrical engineering go into?

[nnjoo]

After two years of applying I haven't gotten any job offers despite having a high GPA. What are some industries that guarantee high paying jobs that are easy to transition to with my background? I don't want to waste any more time searching for jobs in the EE field. I have zero opportunities and zero potential in the EE field; there is no reason for me to keep looking for an entry level job in this field. What other industries can an EE new grad find entry level work?

The job market depends on geography. Your profile says you are from Equatorial Guinea. Is that right?

Easy to get into? Sales. High paying? It can be very high paying, if you are good at it. It is a natural talent though, either you have it, or you don't.

Sales skills can be learned. The talent is just enjoying it. But it does fit the listed criteria

<<Emphasis added.>> To some extent. For example, good communications skills are essential, but can be learned, if lacking. Certain personality traits, however, such as being warm and cordial rather than cold and antagonistic, are also essential. These personality traits, if lacking, are not so easy to acquire ... requires serious reprogramming. The new thread the OP (assuming they're not a troll; TBD) launched today does not bode well for a future in sales.

Many engineering graduates go into the world of finance and the stock exchange, where a good brain is appreciated.

Honestly, with an electrical engineering background, you’ve got a lot of options outside the usual stuff. I’ve seen people jump into renewable energy—solar and wind are booming—or even robotics.

The OP has not responded at all to this thread since Feb. (They have responded to another thread recently).

I suspect either that the OP is a troll account, or presumably the OP has moved on to other topics.

Either way, I suggest that this thread be closed.

(They have responded to another thread recently).

And that thread was closed for trolling...

Either way, I suggest that this thread be closed.

Agreed. Thanks all for trying to help the OP.
