Need YOUR opinion, career-related question.

Thanks alot to each an every one of you for your thoughts on this. I'm going to research as much as I can tonight on it and make up my mind.

I'm kind of leaning towards taking it right now, but I still look down that cliff and wonder if I'll fly or plummet down and break my head. I'll deeply think about it tonight. Test is tomorrow (which, I guess will be the first of several.. unless they're really keen on giving those away.)

PK, My main specialty is Electronic Engineering, we study alot of telecommunications, but don't focus on solely one, we go partially in-depth in each major aspect and that's it.

I don't go with systems engineering because It's WAY too flooded IMO. I'm not that insecure about myself but the more flooded it is, the harder it is to land a good, stable job. I don't go with industrial engineering because, honestly, I don't like it one bit. My parents practically tried to push me into taking it here, and I refused.

If anyone has anything else to put on the table, I'd be very grateful.

Some of us tech folks called IE "imaginary engineering". One of the guys in assembly has an IE degree and a few years worth of experience. He's sticking around in the hope that the company will offer him a job. I think he's gonna be having a long wait.

I did some IE work in my first job. Especially enjoyed some of the statistical analysis work. Enjoyed discovering that disgruntled workers who have management eyeballing them all day long are more likely to break machinery. Also enjoyed finding out all sorts of "common sense" shit using statistics.

Those were the days! Thank God they're gone!
