Electrical Engineering?? Pay?? Future Jobs?

[Jamal]

Hi

I am planning to do Electrical Engineering this year at Leicester University. I am planning to take on 5 years MEng plan with 1 year at industry.

I am very interested in engineering but a bit worried about learning it. I want to achieve really high marks in this degree. My weak point is that I haven't done physics. Do you think I will be able to cope with it? Will books help? as most of it is practical which confuses me even more.

Also once I graduate which places can I work at in UK. What sort of sallary I expect? What is CEng and will that boost up my career even more?

I heared many people saying that engineering is a dying career and I shouldn't choose it because by the time I finish my degree in 5 years it wont be good at all in UK.

Please help me with this.

Hello, I live in the US and am currently studying EE. It is a very exciting and challenging degree. So far, physics hasn't been that bad. In my opinion, engineering is the most exciting and rewarding career there is to offer- especially electrical because it's so broad. This world will always need engineers and scientists to make the the world a better place. You should go for it, you wont be disappointed in the end. GOOD LUCK!
