@EEVblog I can say that I’m the type of person who once finds and understands their passion, they will do everything that they can do to become the best they can be. I love the ability to create something useful with my mind that can be seen as beautiful. After reading everything that it took up until this point to create what we have around us, it really humbles a person and makes them understand and respect engineers for what they do for society. I hope I can be half the engineer you are Dave.
@Nadrealis You can train yourself to be good at electronics, but will you have the passion?
@XTYNoLuck Can you ever train yourself to be good at it? I’m doing it for my love of technology and my ability to problem solve..do I need the knack to be good at it?
@Nadrealis i mean only certain kinds of people would be able to really be good in electronics…the rest are just doing that particular college for other reasons, and normal people don’t get the basics in electricity. In conclusion you have to like what you do, especially in electronics/physics/chemistry.
@XTYNoLuck Nope, haha. Maybe I’m just dense, what do you mean?
@Nadrealis belive me (normal) people have nothing worth saying about EE’s, because they don’t and/or can’t get it…Get it?
Spanish?? subtitles??
What would people say about electronic engineering technologists?
I just want to say that there is some GOLD advice here, I’m 30 and I’d give my entire net worth (plus some) to be able to send this video back in the DeLorean 10 years and give it to myself.
I can’t emphasise enough how right Dave is on all points here.
@raxaxaganaz
I assume you are in the UK, my best advice apart from all the usual job seeking is to fire off CVs to smaller/medium companies with (this is the important part) some examples of real projects you have done.
If you are lucky enough to get spotted by an engineer you can get interesting openings that don’t come up with larger companies.
“screw you money” <– lol. I love it!
@CampKohler Indeed, good advice.
Tip 2: Make sure any agreements with your employer do not allow them ownership of any work you do at home or during traditional non-work hours. In other words, do they “own” you? So, read all the fine print of any thing you sign,
@EEVblog thats ok..thanks anyway..
@raxaxaganaz I have no idea what that means or what country you are in, or what you like to do, or what you are good at etc.
Do what you enjoy, or at least do what you are good at.
im taking Higher National Diploma BTEC at my local college…any idea on a career after graduate from HND BTEC Electro/Electric Engineering?
@IMDBOSS1 Awesome, good luck. Keep topping up that bank account!
Just randomly browsed your site, and as an EE undergrad, I’ve gained new-found motivation as to why to continue pursuing the degree. This video is just amazing, and a reason to why I’m starting a new Screw-You bank account for the future. +1
Always have fun!!!!
I had to log in to give you a thumbs up for this one. You’re a great guy. Keep it up!
@kookkaboy Glad I can help!
david my man you just saved my life… you r the man who had the answers i was looking for…. i worship thee!!…………….
@EEVblog
Dude , I really have to ask you this?
What company do you work for?
I’m an electrical engineering student and I’m really not pleased
with many fresh graduates from my college who races to find
boring job with highest salary.
Dave, this video is is just brilliant. I could not have said it better !!!!!!!
It’s taken me 20 years to get the R&D job that I like.
I have seen almost all of your videos,and this one is certainly the best non-technical one! I am young professional (in my first job only for 6 months now), but I can already admit you’re 100% right!
Thanks for a load of brilliant advice ! Keep doing it ;]
and greetings from the Netherlands!
In any project, the consultants will expand their scope and undertake the project through the formative phase of conceptual preparing, structural design and home loan approvals, and eventually oversee your construction work. — GA
