I was thinking about taking electronics engineering at ITT or something, if it was worth it. I need marketable skills fast, and the stuff interests the hell out of me. Any suggestions/comments/flames/rants?
How is the job market for electrical engineers?

- Start date
For real electrical engineers it's good. For ITT tech electronics engineering probably not so hot...

I'm an EE at UT also, graduating this semester.
omg u guys are scaring the sh!t out of me:Q
<---EE student...perhaps switching to CE because he is a scared little bitch right now

Is that EE degree actually "electrical engineering" or electrical engineering technology? If it's the latter, that's not real engineering. My cousin graduated from Devry with CE Tech and hasn't found a job in months..but that's in Arizona.
Yes...the "real" electrical engineering.
And CE stood for Computer engineering.
The thing is I know qutie a bit about computers, and am taking a CCNa class right now, and will take many more.
I just want to be an engineer so I can then apply that to the IT industry
<--future Cisco engineer...for example

My brother, who was EE had co-ops @ alcatel and Texas Instruments. After he graduated he got a job at a small engineering company, but was laid off. He couldn't get a job so he went to get his master's. After that, he still had some trouble but I guess he got lucky and landed a job at intel. Of course, he had 3 years of work experience and a master's.. GL w/ your job search, if you keep trying you will get something!

i got a job. the offer was made over a month ago with a smaller research-orientd company, and i accepted it last wek. i'm doing semiconductor epitaxy work.
i had an interview with intel ptd. i had previously interned with intel, and i didn't like it. the interview with intel was the worst interview experience i've ever had. arrogant, narrow-minded c*ck$uckers. i despise that place.
a second interviewer called from intel in the bay area. i declined the interview.
a manager from micron technologies called just this mornign with an opening. i told her i already took a job, and she wished me luck.
background: uiuc undergrad and ms, ucsb phd, all ee degrees, six internships at semiconductor foundaries, transistor-related thesis work
offer: less than six-figs... just less than. company is less than an hour north of la
jobs exist. go find them.
