Ken’s Answer
The field of electrical engineering has many diverse applications. Each is really especially attractive to people who have specific personality traits which help them to be most productive and successful in that niche. The best way for you to follow the path which would be most productive and satisfactory to you would be for you to get to know yourself better and then do some real time live in person networking with people who are doing what you might find to be attractive and interesting to you. During my many years in Human Resources and College Recruiting, I have developed the following tips, which have helped many to find a niche which proved to be productive and satisfying. Too many skipped these steps and found they ended up in a situation that was less than satisfactory. Selecting a career is like buying a pair of shoes.
