[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are the job opportunities for EE or Chem E, for example?

CS I get it - but other 'traditional' engineering degrees?

I am not challenging..just asking, as I dont know. I guess companies like Dow, GE or Raytheon would hire Chem/EE engineers, but are there sufficient jobs for all the graduating engineers? [/quote]
Electrical engineers are responsible for things like your cellphone and communication networks you rely on. There's some overlap between EE/CE/Telecom in coursework, so a lot will pivot more toward a developer role, but there are a lot of hardware opportunities in the field. Places like Apple, Dell, Verizon, AT&T, any defense contractor... CS majors need a hardware infrastructure to write code on. [/quote]

You have to be truly smart and capable to become and engineer.  It is not something that you can become because your over bearing mother wants you to be rich, to support her in old age. Nor is it guaranteed money - not many professions are, not even doctors or lawyers, these days.

Some overbearing parents want their kids to study computer science (those that are not qualified to be doctors, lawyers or engineers, for example - it is hard to get regular tutors for all years of those professional schools), which is fine, because CS is much easier then engineering. [/quote]
