Finding Highest Paying Electrical Engineering Jobs
I am set to graduate next year in 2010 and im just wondering what kind of job pays well. I am getting my Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering and planning on getting a Master’s of Science in Electrical Engineering right after. However, what type of jobs pay pretty well. I have a 3.75 GPA as of right now. I was thinking of working in a hospital but not sure what i would do or what the pay scale is any advice?
You really should not be doing it because of pay. Seek out the area you like most.
I have a comparable gpa to yours and I have some engineering experience. I also will graduate in 2010.
If you do power engineering, a masters degree is worthless. Two years in graduate school is two years of lost pay and pay increases.
If you do electromagnetics (most of which is classified) it will be fun, but the pay is less for an undergrad as compared to other fields. You would be expected to get a phd, in which case you’d make a lot more money.
Then there is control systems. Apparently nobody likes that. That’s just what i hear, and if a CS guy comes on here and disputes that then that’s fine.
You mentioned working at a hospital. Instead you could work on MRI systems and technology. There’s still a lot of research in that field. That would warrant some graduate work.
RF engineering is another profitable direction. A lot of RF work is classified, but plenty of private sector jobs exist (like mobile phones, etc)
What’s my opinion?
I would pick an industry that is going to be around for a long time. I’m thinking job security. Don’t expect bookoos of money right out of college. You have to work for at least 10 years before you can move up into management type positions (which pay very well).

A lot of electrical engineers get into Automotives, but right now that field is fairly volatile. Still, if I was in your position, I would focus on greentech lso called "green collared jobs".
You also need to mention the country you are in.
