To Be Or Not To Be A CET?

Posted by Cliff on from the today's-risky-career-choices dept.

maxdamage asks: "After reading an earlier Ask Slashdot article and the responses, I am very worried about my future career plans. This fall I am going into CET, which is essentially a cross between a CS and an Electrical Engineering degree. According to these responses, CS majors are doomed to spend their lives waiting tables. Does a computer related engineering degree give hope or should I change to a more general engineering program, before its too late?"

  1. Jobs to increase a lot by 2008 by VersatilePrimate · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    According to this link, the increase in number of skilled jobs is going to be really high by the year 2008. I read the actual article when it came out in the magazine and figures it mentioned(not mentioned in the linked article) indicated that the highest job increase in the top 10 cities mentioned in the said article we predominantly tech jobs. Cities like Washington DC and Austin, TX projected a near 100% increase in jobs. So getting into CET may not be that bad after all given the time you would be done with it. Good luck
