What concerns do electronics engineering students have about finding careers in the industry after graduation?

nlarson

Do students have concerns about being able to find work in electronics engineering after gradutation?  Many students seem to be taking on jobs after graduation not in their field just to pay the bills.  Is this the case with you?  Did you find a job in your field after graduation or did you take a job outside of the industry?  Are there any engineering concentrations that you might not have explored if there were more jobs available?

  • When I graduated my main concern was trying to get my foot into any door.

     

    I never had the experience needed to get the lowest engineering job. I would always read, 1 to 3 years experience needed for any position. Being a full time student never gave me the qualifications needed.

     

    I was always panicked to find a job, with the crushing school debt looming over my head.

     

    To top it off, I was up against thousands of competitors for that position at my school alone.

     

    I would always say, "my experience is purely academic." Unfortunately, that was not enough.

     

    Like most people, I was able to get my first job through a friend. After a year under my belt, I was able to get subsequent jobs.

     

    That first year after graduation is stressful.
