Which countries which engineering topic is best
spec:
Hi abdurresitcan,
USA
There is no one best subject in electronics, and don't forget the specialist areas: reliability, electromagnetic comparability, safety, quality assurance engineer, technical author, technical sales, systems engineer... These areas are always in demand and can be very lucrative, especially if you start your own company and become a consultant in a specialist area.
In addition to hardware engineering, there is software, and this is the area with the biggest demand, and arguably the highest remuneration.
Don't forget, to progress up the ladder, you will have to move into management, either technical, project, or general, so your interpersonal skills, presentation skills, and writing skills should develop along with your technical skills as you gain more experience. :)
Just to give you an idea of what happens. You have designed and developed the most fantastic piece of equipment and you are in the lab putting the finishing touches to your creation, and the project manager strolls in and says the customer is visiting next week, can you do a 20 minute presentation on your design, so it is best to be prepared.
rstofer:
In the US, software developer makes more money than engineers (electronics, computer, mechanical, etc) and there are at least 10 times as many jobs created each year.
We have a site: www.bls.gov Under Search BLS.gov you can search for any occupation you wish and find out the macro side of things but you can also drill down by area of the country like Silicon Valley (San Jose, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara). The drill down will give median salaries and it is likely that a highly motivated individual will make a lot more than just 'median'.
rstofer:
When you look at salaries, rationalize them against cost of living in the area. Sure, Silicon Valley pays well but it takes 2 high paying jobs to buy a house. I'm not sure $150k will provide much of a lifestyle in that area. $300k probably will.
And that's why a lot of folks commute from outlying areas even though the commute is grim. I am so happy I don't work there any more. Or anywhere, for that matter. Retirement is good.
