The other option for Telecom engineers is joining the operations and maintenance industry. This industry enjoyed a great boom since 2000 and had been generating many jobs up till 2008. However, after 2008, the openings have decreased to a great extent as the boom had to end at some time. Now the telecom sector is in normal state, just like other companies, that has established itself with sufficient human resource and the job openings show up at a normal rate. That being said, it goes without saying that NUST graduates enjoy a great edge over other university's graduates and enjoy being a part of a strong and an active alumni.
The type of work in this industry is mainly of analyzing trends, keeping an eye on anomalies in the network, planning and implementation of expansion projects, resolution of technical issues etc. The workload is generally greater in this industry but very easily manageable and doable in the normal working hours. The learning opportunities are ample and one easily find time and resources to enhance his technical knowledge. Working in a GSM environment with technical skills can also increase your chances of employment globally. More about potential employers in the telecom sector later!
