| Topic | PotD, I've graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering, I'm moving up in life |
| streamofthesky 05/12/21 8:49:21 AM #10: | Congrats! Not sure what the job market is like now. When I graduated it was during the Great Recession and I struggled to find a job in the field for a while (I was in IEEE and remember being told that the unemployment rate for engineers had surged from 1% to 8%, just really bad times, even for tech....). If it's like that again now, you'll probably have people all around you saying to go back to school for your MS to "wait it out". DON'T DO THAT! I'm so glad I didn't listen to that advice. If you get an engineering job, they'll pay your tuition to get a masters degree, don't pile on more debt just to get a more advanced degree you could've gotten for free later on, but still have no experience. Being basically debt free was invaluable to me, life would've been much harder struggling to find work if I had a sword of Damacles (debt that is nearly impossible to discharge) over my neck, too. ...
