I graduate in December with an AAS in Engineering Technology- Electronics. I’ve been checking out the job market to get a good idea of what I’m going in to, and I’ve got to say I’m not feeling all that sure about this choice of degree now. I can find all kinds of listings for various Engineers; and even a few listings that I would think would be a technician but requires a BSEE.
Have technician/technologist jobs gone the way of the Dodo since electronics are basically “throw away” items now? Or am I just living in a bad area? (Western Kentucky)
I figure the latter is probably truer than the former, but I’m interested in what others think.
For what it’s worth, I have pretty modest goals for life. I’d happy installing security systems for 30K a year, but alas there doesn’t seem to be anyone hiring for that either.
