How will the engineering job market be in 6-10 years? |
I am going to graduate engineering in roughtly 5-7 years depending if I do a masters or Ph.D However if I have a B.S how hard will it be to find a job, and how much will my salary be. I am thinking about bio-medical engineering or chemical, anything that has medicine. Anything imput will help. It seems the job market for biomedical engineers will have a much faster than average growth over the next several years. Chemical engineers will see average growth in their job market over the next few years. You can find lots more specific information at the website below...it is an invaluable tool for anyone researching different occupations. Good luck! Source(s): http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm... http://www.bls.gov/oco/ This is a very good question to be asking! If in 1970 you wanted said you wanted to be network engineer, you wouldn't be able to train for it because the jobs didn't exist - it is better to learn HOW to learn, than train for a specific field (within limits). One good approach is to serve as an intern within a company for a summer or two to see where the industry is going, BEFORE going for your graduate degree. It will also inform you how much the job will pay, working conditions, what the industry needs, etc., - you might change your educational direction because of it. A lot of the engineering is going to be outsourced to India and China, so be prepared to travel. The outsourcing is being done because it is cheaper, but also because it is difficult to find engineers (as long as the engineer has the same skills the company or industry needs). Also, don't imagine that engineering will be a stable kind of job (if you want that, go to work at the DMV) - assume that you will change jobs and careers many times throughout your life - thus the importance of continuing education. My job has taken me all over the world; rest assured the United States has the best higher education system (K-12 is crappy however....). The engineering job market will be good for those who work hard and study, and outsourced for those who don't. The ultimate goal in engineering is to become either a specialist (if you're good at doing work) or management (if you're good with people). Each requires a different skill set, so start training now! |
