I graduated this past semester with an EE degree and now I work at a microwave engineering company. EE jobs will definitely vary with the industry and size of the company. Larger companies tend to put their engineers into specific roles while engineers at smaller companies do a wider range of jobs. Personally I spend about half my time at a desk looking over schematics and datasheets, programming microcontrollers/fpgas, whatever, and the other half of my time in a lab testing and debugging stuff that I or someone else has made. I would totally recommend majoring in Engineering in college, especially if you live in the Northeast or West coast where most of the jobs seem to be. After I graduated, almost all of the people in my EE class found jobs while practically NONE of my non-engineer friends found work. They all went to grad school instead.

Thread Killer posted:Me and my girlfriend are both juniors in EE and currently are trying to find internships/co-ops for the summer. I think I have a decent shot at getting one because of an internship last summer, but she's really worried about not finding an internship which she equates with being able to find a job upon graduation. Your gf should have a ridiculously easy time as almost anywhere she applies will be looking for girls to diversify the engineering staff.

Colmface posted:I ended up getting an internship with ABB in Switzerland, which is really exciting. You'll be fine.. both have great in-program help and large internet communities. I learned labview from scratch when I started my job and it picked it up right away. Matlab is a little tougher if you're doing complex things but like I said the help and tutorials available are awesome.
