Hi, Im in college majoring in Electrical and Electronics engineering,
but now I need to decide my 'specialization'.
I've been browsing the webpage of the bureau of labour statistics, and
it says there that on average, electronic engineers get better pays
than their electrical counterparts (about $3k per year compared to
electronics eng. and about $10k compared to computer HW).
On the other hand, I believe there is a greater risk of foreign labour
replacement and outsourcing for the electronics sector. I think that
for generation/supply you need to be on site.
What do you think? Does electronics pays better? Is there greater
security in the electrical field.
Thanks in advance for any input, Javier
