How do I get out of power?
(1/5) > >>
PythonGuython:
I've got two more years at school and I've done an internship at the largest power company in my part of the country. It went well and it's safe to say that I have a career in power for the rest of my life. That's the last thing I want to do with my life. Is it hard to pivot industries within EE? There's so many fields I'd like to work in: tech, drones, aerospace, biomedical, electronics design, low-level programming, RF, semiconductors, but power is the one field that does not make that list. How do I convince an employer in those industries to hire me when the only professional experience I have is at a power company?
Benta:
Don't feel boxed in, you're far too early in your career to think like that.

That you've done your internship in a power company does not make you uninteresting to other companies/industries.
In my experience, quite the opposite. If you study the subjects that are close to your heart and excel in those, your excursion to power just demonstrates your curiosity and flexibility.

If I was hiring someone, multiple skills would be much more interesting than someone completely focused on one subject. Engineering is a mindset where you are curious about everything, and have special knowledge about some things. And this special knowledge you'll develop along the way, both during your education, but especially through your employment afterwards.

Chin up!
Cerebus:
It's a fallacy, reinforced by the gross basic incompetence of HR departments and employment agencies, that employers want cookie-cutter employees with 'just' the right experience and only that experience. They don't. Any competent experienced manager who is hiring folks will rate flexibility and an ability to learn new things way in advance of over-specific experience.

I have regularly hired people without domain specific experience but who have demonstrated past ability to learn and apply their basic knowledge and abilities to something related but new to them; those have almost always turned out to be my best folks. The ones who are narrowly specific about their field have tended to be the employees who don't work out so well.

So don't worry that all you have on your CV/resumé this early in your career is just one thing. Any decent employer can see past that. Anyone who can't is probably someone you don't want to be working for anyway.

@PythonGuython:

As you see, there's a couple of experienced people on the same page here.

The thing you really have to get right is: The Basics. Complex maths have been essential in almost all situations during my career (I'm over 60 now). Physics to a very large extent. But most important: Analytical Thinking. All the rest comes along the way.

I wouldn’t dismiss the power end of electrical engineering; it may be a great choice for your career.  I fell into the power end of electrical engineering by chance in the dot-com bust of the early 2000’s and it proved to be a lucrative career. I’m not trying to get you to stay with power, just to consider the long term benefits.

Pro’s:
Most EE’s are afraid of higher voltages associated with power engineering and management is doubly afraid of power.  Think of this as a great opportunity to shine above others with little competition.
The power engineering community, I think, is a little more career friendly in that making good contacts early will pay off in the future.  Once you have established yourself, it won’t be hard to find new better paying and career enhancing jobs.  Power engineering doesn’t seem to have the one project and you are done attitude prevalent in other EE areas.
Power engineering isn’t going away any time soon; it is a growing field that relies on withstanding the test of time; it may seem boring to a newbie, but it makes designing and troubleshooting a lot easier in the long run. 
There are plenty of opportunities to work with control and monitoring of power systems that involve other electronics.  Here is where your opportunities are probably the greatest if you understand both the power and control ends of power electrical engineering. 
It can be a very interesting field that  transcends many aspects of industry; almost all industry relies on power of some sort. 

Con’s:
It can be boring if you really want to be on the cutting edge of electronics (but the paycheck will help overcome the boredom as you get older).
The tolerance for mistakes should approach zero; your first mistake could be your very last.
