Scope of your Electrical Engineering Degree

What is the scope of your Electrical (Telecom) Engineering degree in the market? Will the degree alone get you a solid career? Know the answers to these questions and prepare yourself accordingly to maintain your edge over others!

The main market of this degree can be broadly classified into two classes:
i) Research and Development
ii)Operation and Maintenance (Telecom industry)

Both the jobs have their own pros and cons and the decision, as most of people you ask would say, should be based on your interest. But more often than not, it becomes difficult to realize where our interest is, and that is because because we do not know the nature of the job of our selected field. Some people like to choose a career that does not have routine work and the employee is continuously engaged in learning process throughout his career by working on different projects. This type of career is mostly in R & D field where you are always in the process of developing or improving something to sustain in the market. This may sound ideal to quite a few graduates but it should be known that such jobs are require constant intellectual process and aptitude towards learning. Contrary to it, the operations and maintenance side of the industry may not require much intellect and aptitude, but it demands physical attention and sometimes, as they say, labour. There is much more to write of these categories, see you then!
