[QUOTE="venomous99, post: 8645830, member: 6045"] after graduating with an EE w/ emphasis in communications/digital, i took a 2 years break then ironically landed a job at a big analog semiconductor company and have been there since, going on over 6 years as a product engineer/project manager. the pay is great for engineers and its common to be in the 6figures in only a few years at least in the valley. to maximize growth and pay, its always good to keep your options open by testing out the market. it also can help you sharpen your interview skills and could help broaden your experience if you take on new positions. a lot of times when youre comfortable doing a certain thing time goes by fast and u end up doing that forever, which isnt bad but u just never know what else is out there and could be better suited for you. if you have the opportunity, try to get into a co-op or internship and continue to ask around for opinions from ppl in the field and be aware of the companies that you potential could land a job at. i went straight through college w/out an good idea of what engineers do and did engineering mostly as a result of process of elimination of what classes i disliked and liked. in hindsight i couldve done something else like computer science but happend to just finish EE. dont worry about the age thing as that could just discourage u...if it takes u much longer to decide on what field it'll be worth it than finishing it all then realizing u wish u wouldve done something else. one thing to consider is that these jobs are so specialized so if you leave college with a broad knowledge base in whatever discipline u choose, ull learn mostly everything on the job so i wouldnt rely so heavily on exactly what emphasis u choose. i work in IC new product development where i lead teams of 5 engineers developing chips that go in power related applications such as telecom and many electronic devices such as mobile devices, computers..basically anything w/ IC's. day to day activites could be anything from holding weekly meetings w/ my teams/reporting to management, going to the bench to evaluate the Si and to trouble shoot issues seen w/ our chips as part of qualification/reliability, dealing w/ manufacturing since we eventually release these chips and much more. its a fun job and nothing like what i expected in college...engineers get a bad reputation of being anti social and not having interpersonal skills but ull soon find out that its actually a necessity in our field since you work a lot in a team environment. anyhow, have fun w/ it and it looks like you're already taking the right steps to get there.
