Recommendation for R&D Wannabe Engineering Students
From the February issue of the IEEE Spectrum (a little bit late, I was just reading the article yesterday).
Where the Jobs Are
To bring you this year’s analysis of who’s hiring and who’s firing in the technology industry, IEEE Spectrum teamed up with The New York Times to survey 752 IEEE members about the past, present, and future technological trends they are seeing.
….
Surprisingly, then, when we asked our survey participants which area they would recommend to an engineering student interested in an R&D career, Prepackaged Software and OEM ended up near the bottom of the list (Storage and Consumer Computers tied for last place, with just one vote each out of 646 respondents). Instead, practically tying for first place were Biomedical and Wireless/Mobile technologies, with 103 and 102 votes apiece; Energy came in third with 95 votes. A further 85 survey takers recommended pursuing an R&D career in academia, without specifying an area.
I envy you, my love 
. I am a firm believer, though, that in whatever area you are focusing on, when you work hard and excelled in it, and you have ideas that people will find it useful, it will be the best bet for the future of you and people who benefit from your work.
