Is Electrical Engineering now a solidly safer bet than Software Engineering as a degree?
>>17090411I personally did fine with Software Engineering (graduated 2024) so it's probably fine
>>17090411If you consider digital circuit design and embedded systems trannies as electrical engineers, then it's over for them too.For those who does a real hardware work, it's not.
>>17090435>real hardware workWhat, like designing processors?
The good thing about real engineering and not that software bullshit, is that after design, it requires physical hardware on the ground to be built and maintained. You can vibe the design all you want but can't replace the actual build. It might happen in the future but it will take as long as it will take other manual jobs to replace.
>>17090439Analog circuits, RF engineering, power engineering, control systems, etc.Designing a CPU is a code-writing job unless you're working at the semiconductor or circuit level, which is handled by semiconductor physicists or analog/mixed-signal designers, not by digital fags.
>>17090440Yes, and with EE you can always pivot to a codecuck job if you want.
>>17090445AI has been doing all that for 20 years.
>>17090678That floor has dropped, Anon.
>>17090411only insofar as to help you feed yourself later on by being able to repair shit when most jobs are done and gone. circuit design will soon be mastered by AI. and robots won't bother with repairing shit, they'll just replace shit altogether. so could be a useful skill in the upcoming tech distopyan future. you will at least be able to repair your shit when it breaks. some times at least.
>>17090411if you started your degree between 2022 and 2024 yeah, you'll get a good 6-18 months of career advantage before you get automated away too
