According to the government, electrical engineers are will be in relatively low demand in the years to come. This is unnerving, since I am considering a minor or major in electrical engineering, mostly because of the job opportunities. If the future prospects of EE's are so weak, I am not sure I will pursue this path.
On the other hand, petroleum engineers seem to be prospering.
I have some questions.
Do you think that in the future it will be tough for EE's to find jobs?
Would you recommend switching into petroleum engineering? (given that I don't have too great a passion for either field at this point)
I like physics. Is there a lot of overlap between petroleum engineering and physics? I know there is a lot of overlap between EE and physics.
