September 27 摘自一个consultant I have been an EE for about 40 years and I thought that I would throw out a few things. First of all get the best credentials you can. Spend the time to get that EIT and PE. Today probably 80% of the EE jobs in my area of the Southeast are in construction and require a PE. I never bothered to get my PE so I'm locked out unless I do. I think it's easier right out of school rather than 40 years later. Second if you want to work in the Military/ Aerospace area, start early. It can take decades to learn the ins and outs of government beaurocracy. Many of these companies will only hire senior folks with experience in the area. Third be flexible. Early on I worked through the demise of the machine tool industry and the consumer electronics industry in the US. Whole industries can disappear overnight and there is great disapear over this. However new more innovative ones can take their place and have. If you want to work in product development, you need to be both innovative and close to the customer. The company I work for now really does not care about IP. I design low cost consumer products that get shipped off shore to be produced. The big deal is time to market and being first. After something is successful and commoditized, it will be copied over and over and driven to the lowest possible cost. Thus, there is no longer a need for a high cost EE. There is a need for a high cost EE to turn local ideas into workable concepts quickly. Just a few thoughts. loree TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://rmflyer.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!31C22C704033E4A0!331.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
