[QUOTE="shurur, post: 16783155, member: 113850"] Free college. Yes. Always. Expectations of what a BSEE will do for you are the thing to be managed. If you are at a private company who still takes care of its people or at a government contract company or actually working for the government, then these points don't effect you much. If you are in the truly private sector, then IMO these points need to be considered in order to management your expectations as to what your degree will do for you. This is based on my own experiences, as I got my BSEE at 33, and started my career late. I went from network board design, a short stint in wireless and then IC design. I was a digital designer. 1. Forty is the new fifty. If you are not safely in management by your forties expect to get let go at some point, and become a contractor at best. There are virtually no company engineer's engineers anymore. 2. If you use your degree to move up into more technical fields, you will find your degree is worth less and less, as what school you went to and how advanced your degree is begins to matter more, as some of these schools, MIT, Stanford, Georgia Tech, UC Berkley to name a few, are like belonging to a virtual union. The higher you fly, the more chance of getting your wigs singed. The Icarus effect. That is my experience and .02. The best of luck to you. [/QUOTE]
