I’m surprised electrical engineering wasn’t in top 3. The current market for software engineering is in pieces rn also.

[@bigbao9843]

EE is broad, it can go in CE, CS industries.

[@bigbao9843]

@@Trttttrrrjjhhhhhttttt EE is a very broad discipline. Everything related to electricity so does software stuffs. There’s a lot of EE students actually work as a SWE or machine learning stuff. Sure they need to take additional CS class or study by own.

What is CS?​@@Trttttrrrjjhhhhhttttt

[@donovan1333]

W. thank you

[@shotelco]

@@engineernow First, capture the transcript (there are many ways of automating this), but a simple way is to use tactiq DOT IO, which takes about a second. Then copy-paste the transcript. Then, in your Code Editor ... you _Do Have_ a Code Editor... right? 😉 and paste the transcript into a python script something similar like this using natural language processing (NLP) techniques: ------------------------------- import re # Sample transcript transcript = """ @0:34: #20 - Materials Engineering $63K - $95K/yr @1:18: #19 - Agricultural Engineering $57K - $98K/yr @2:13: #18 - Environmental Engineering $60K - $88K/yr ...

Finding all matches: Uses re.findall to find all occurrences in the transcript. Structuring the data: Converts matches into a list of dictionaries. Then printing the results: Outputs the structured data. Note: the above code needs tweaking. You could probably have one of the HyperScale LLM's like ChatGPT ingest the transcript and do it for you as well, I don't know, I haven't tried it. Capturing transcripts, then copying them into an LLM for summarization, is a time saver.

[@bigbao9843]

EE can go in CE, CS industries EE can go to the the top 6. mentioned engineering’s

[@HunterElliott]

EE has so many subfields, it deserves its own video like this. i.e. electronics engineers on average make 155k according to Glassdoor

[@XERMIJNAWAYA]

Hi, im currently a first year electrical engineering right now, didn't know EE has so many sub fields that i can choose in the future. It's so good to know that i can do lots of things, thanks to the flexibility of an EE Skills!

[@kierpaolodesepeda4428]

Ye its kinda cool, there are many EE courses related to Mechanical Eng, electronics eng, civil eng and other engineering. As of now im on my last year in EE and my major is Renewable Energy. EE is like the polymath of engineering we could be useful in any field

[@burakkqz]

What do you think about industrial engineering? Nowadays, in terms of finding a job and salary

[@engineernow]

For me doesn’t look the best option

[@feyakut]

@@engineernow crazy to see this after i just started studying ie in metu. luckily it's a different story here in turkey

[@skycloud8719]

how about mechatronics? i confused to choose electrical or mechatronics, what do you think about long term and flexibility

[@engineernow]

Both good, but I would recommend electrical, better flexibility among industries

[@skycloud8719]

@@engineernow really? Don't mechatronics learn mechanical and electrical, that supposed more flexibility right? But I rarely see source discuss about mechatronics so I really confused.

[@engineernow]

I would prefer here more narrow niche, mechanics too wide, needs to much to learn 🙂

[@someguythatdraws5072]

​@@engineernow But dont mechatronics engineers usually mainly go for robotics and automation jobs too? Which you placed higher than electrical engineering.

[@ridgyfool9326]

@@someguythatdraws5072 to be honest both are good but I think he ranked the electrical engineer job lower not the major (even tho the major was the focus of this video and I think it should’ve higher because of the opportunity) because the major allows you to go into any of those top fields in which you can learn about renewable energy, robotics, computers, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and software as electrical engineering is a more direct path to those fields But if you do enjoy the mechanical aspects also then it doesn’t really matter and you should do mechatronics because you will get good opportunities for both

[@ed-fm]

Why so little subs?

[@benjamin8010]

I’m studying Mechanical Engineering ( Energietechnik branch) in Germany. Is it good nowadays? Thank you.

Depends on what you expect further and which industry 🙂

[@fermion2233]

Thanks for the video! What do you think about mathematical and physical engineering?

[@Trttttrrrjjhhhhhttttt]

Never heard of it, probably little employment oppurtunity

[@Siddharth_IITD]

​@@Trttttrrrjjhhhhhtttttmaybe he's talking about Engineering Physics (some of the universities offer it as a major), although it's great for research but employment opportunities are less. By mathematical I guess he meant Mathematics and Computing (MnC) engineering, few universities offer this course, it's probably one of the highest paying majors out there, with wide scope opportunities in Data analytics, Cybersecurity, Software roles, Machine Learning, Financial Engineering, Embedded systems engineering

[@ElectroWolf_Arts]

I have a master Degree (5 years in university) in industrial maintenace but in Algeria (North Africa)..... will i get job offers in Europe/USA/Canada or i have to study all over again in their colleges ??

You can make Diploma evaluation using special services like WES

@@engineernow First, thanks for the reply, i went to WES site having no idea what to do, i created an account and added my credentials like my Baccalauréat, Licence Diploma and Master Diploma, and personal info, the last step is "Report Recipients" which is basicly pay to send your report to institution(s) ,,,, well, i cant procced further since credit cards are not available in Algeria, we cant buy thing online, we cant pay things online, currency is so low, we can exchange currencies, thats why i want to leave

IT is better ☺️

[@kentuckyfriedvideos2000]

Where would you rank mining engineering? All the cutting edge electric cars and renewable energy sources require crazy amounts of rare metals to make, so my teachers anticipate need for mining engineers to go up in the future to meet this demand, but I wondered what you think about it. It’s a rare profession only taught by a few schools, but maybe you could get the same jobs with a more general engineering degree.

[@engineernow]

I don’t like, it’s in demand, but not modern, 19-20 century job 🙂 look at IT, finance, robotics, biomedicine etc

Hi i want to ask you i love cars and motorsport racing field and also coding or computer or technology so Iam confused about theses majors 1- computer + communications (both in one in my country i can mix to majors if i want ) 2- mechanical engineering (specifically in automotive engineer ) 3- mechatronics engineering What do you think and if there is any other majors plz tell me.
