engineering. cos wat u study is not applicable in job.
u go outside world working, not say u specialise in electrical engineering, u must be in electrical line. cos if u want to be in building service, u must also learn mechanical, material, chemical, civil n even marine offshore.
n most importantly, ur communication skills must be good in order to ensure ur job running smoothly n on schedule. example like how to talk to clients, building good partnership, handling contract, or even how to communicate wif foreigners to do the jobs u require them to do. -
I got a few friends took NUS computer science, now they are complaining about how they regretted their choice cause the companies all hire the EEE people to do their jobs. Even though they are more well trained in software.

sure or not?
exactly what jobs are they fighting for?
perhaps, the jobs are more suitable for EEE people.

Programming language or assembly language? Not many IT people are trained in assembly languages, but many engineers would have some basics of assembly language.Originally posted by nonameguy:I got a few friends took NUS computer science, now they are complaining about how they regretted their choice cause the companies all hire the EEE people to do their jobs.

If they applied for a job which requires knowledge of assembly knowledge, might as well be prepared not to receive it. -

not everyone can be at the top level of IT or engineering... see ur luck n interest also... politics too...Originally posted by Fatum:there are engineers, and there are engineers .....
I got to know this chap who went to MIT, electrical engineering, became a P.Eng, went to work for an oil company, got rich on stock options and retired at 39 a multimillionaire ....
in the end, it depends on what level of the game you're in ... same thing with IT or engineering ....
if you want to compete with ah tiongs and ah nehs at the code monkey level, by all means, but don't be surprised at your tiny pay packet or loosing your job to an outsourcing company a few years later ....
but if you're good enough, becoming a systems analyst or a professional engineer, that's another story ... in the end, methinks there are no "good" fields to be in ... it all boils down to how good you are at anything ... -
