There’s a book recognized as “Avoid Retirement And Stay Alive”. The concept will be the reality that retirement has no area in current society. In case you are able to make work pleasant by balancing it against the other points you would like to complete, then you definitely can easily live like you’ve got all of the time inside the globe.

I would love to go into the core field rather than end up in IT field.

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.
