It’s funny, I went to college and got my degree in mechanical engineering. I’m glad I went and it’s definitely made my career easier. However, as a power plant operator, in my state a degree isn’t needed, just licensing.

    Yes for electrical engineering. Got a job pretty easily at a job fair before graduating which ended up being something like 10% hardware 90% software. Eventually went to a biotech startup at about the same mix, and now in big tech building websites so 100% software.

    I’d say the time at the startup was the most fulfilling, but the benefits I have now outweigh any downsides.
