Hi guys. If you were to choose a career path in the US, would you rather go for network engineering or biomedical electronics?
I decided I wanted to give the US a try and apply for a job there, in 2 to 3 years time. I am interested in the Chicago and Houston areas, but anyone can comment about their own city.
I am a mobile network engineer with 2 years of experience.I was/am looking into a masters in cibersecurity. I am currently training to pass the CCNA routing and switching exam.
I was recently given the option of getting a biomedical electronics technician job in my country. This job would train me in several countries so that I can work on the equipment of a couple of leading brands of biomedical machinery (MRI machines, X-ray, etc.). Because this training is overseas, I cannot pursue a masters of I do this. However, this training is international, so I guess it’s valid for any company that works on this type of equipment. It looks like this company will pay me more and I kind of need that money to emigrate and settle in a foreign country.
I was wondering which one of the two sectors would welcome me better and which one has more space for me to grow into, considering that I don’t have US-specific certifications. (I don’t think that’s a problem in networking but it could be in biomedical).
I like both options, it’s a matter of which one will give me more money, stability and room to grow.d
I have time to advance my career, I’m in my early 20’s.
Which field you think can get me faster/more probably from technician to senior engineer? Which one gives me more places to work for?
All opinions are welcome.
