I just chose electrical engineering. Am i fucked?

EE hard counters software cucks and AI
>>
Nope. You can find what you love in it.
>>
>yeah bro theyre right about to replace those electrical engineers with ai man
>>
>>109568763
probably.
I could see an EE getting a job in China or Taiwan, but in America I doubt there are really that many places hiring. I guess robotics is pretty hot though.
>>
>>109568777
Oh, but if you go for robotics people will fully expect you to do some AI LLM shit so you should probably just double major into CS.
Try to get a job at Nvidia

No, it's a pretty good choice.
EE is broad enough you'll be able to apply to wherever the jobs are in 4 years. You have a ton of safe options that aren't in jeopardy from AI. And if AI goes bust you can trivially pivot to coding if you want.

It's not software, you're fine.

>>109568763
Ban the frog.

>>109568775
what do you think electrical engineers do?
>>
>>109568782
>>109568777
actual robotics research requires a baseline competency in mechanical, electrical and CS. I am a robotics researcher and my undergrad was mechanical (mechatronics specialization), masters and PhD were comp sci.

robotics companies that scale beyond a few guys in a shed will hire specialists for each so you will be a regular EE or codemonkey and generalist skills don't matter.

>>109569910
for context though EE is fine for robotics research, some of my colleagues are pure EE PhDs and we do the exact same shit

>>109568763
Join the architecture/construction field. Tons of jobs here designing hospitals for the boomers.

>>109568775
the people doing underwater welding are tradies, not uni grads

>>109568763
Heavily depends on country
If you’re Asian it’s a great choice, USA it’s good too, Europe idk but who gives a fuck about them anyway, some western countries have no fucking industry so engineering degrees are worthless
>>
>>109570057
codemonkeys think the world is split between software and "hardware", and every "hardware" related job is basically the same - because a codemonkey from one domain can probably learn to become a codemonkey in another domain quite easily.

there are jobs where you have to both design PCBs and MIG weld steel tube frames but if you can do both those things you can probably also write the firmware for the microcontroller on the PCB and the high level desktop application that interfaces with it (I have done that)

No. Fuck off stinkjesh.

So much envy for CS chads in this thread
