"Esta undecision me molesta"

[xoder]

See, I just don't know where to go from here. All the speakers say "Follow your passion." I just don't know what I'm passionate about. I'll not be filling out this quiz myself, but I do want to see your inputs. These are the things on my list of possible options, and I'll be using some of my engineering knowledge (and practice from *gasp* Senior Design) to properly evaluate them later. In the meantime, I'd appreciate your input.

Any comments about the questions, please comment to the entry, don't use the "other" boxes.

I feel your pain (only i moved out of home a month after I started working), but got my BE, in EE and ME, in Wireless Communications...and ended up in building engineering. designing power distribuition in buildings. NOT what i had envisioned. I left the company a couple months ago in a major exodus. Young people in the field seem to flee after two years. One joined the peace corps, ones going to law school, one to med school, ones an investment banker, another translates english for a similar company in china, another is going to continue her engineering schooling in sweden, a few people found other, higher paying but similar jobs, and one, me went to another branch of the EE field. Pretty much my point is, with an EE degree, your options are open.

After the first year i knew that i wanted out, and desperately, but it took awhile to decide on the right thing. Now that ive made the change im unbelieveably happy at work. Good Luck with the decision, and with finding the right thing when you make the decision.

What finally came along for me, was friends and friends of friends at other companies. A friend of a coworker (who also desperately wanted out of building engineering) gave my resume to his boss. Several months a pee test and a background check later i ended up here. and in conclusion, if you decide to stay in engineering and are interested in ITT (www.itt.com) and dont mind commuting to jersey (clifton, not too far, theres a train. i take it.) i'd be more than happy to pass along a resume. email me.


heh im posting like crazy today b/c my computer is cranking away data as fast as it can, but its not faster than me! ( i work in a simulation lab, its a huge facility though, tons of different things EEs can play with )

by "like crazy" of course i mean "twice", which is "like crazy" compared to my usual "never even remember to read lj"
