I am about to finish my BS in Electrical Engineering and was considering getting a MS in EE but considering how the economoy is and the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics say it should grow slower than average. This being said what do you guys think is the most prudent thing to do in my case. Go for an MS Engineering Degree or start out with another degree maybe in healthcare.
Skip the Masters in Engineering get an MBA. This will enable you to get a high paying executive management position in the Engineering Industry, instead of an Engineering design position (less pay more headaches). Good luck.
As per research, the job growth of electrical engineers will largely occur in engineering firms, government agencies, industrial sectors, and more. These engineers will also experience tremendous job growth in computer systems design, because these industries are focusing on manufacturing portable computing device. The rapid pace of technological invention will drive huge demand for electrical engineers in the research sector as well. So, those who're thinking of pursuing electrical and electronic engineering will experience favourable employment opportunities in the years to come.
I agree with Bimmer, if you decide to stay in school, go for the MS in EE But MS can be quite different from BS. more pure math. and mainly RD, papers , thesis if you like sort of work go for it. Otherwise, go find a job There is a lot of job that are not advertisedespecially in EE.
Hahaha!! go with a masters. If the healthcare thing passes, that is the last thing you want to do. Lower wages, horrible work invironment, etc. You can start work with the BS but you will get payed more with a MS.
