Do you think studying systems engineering is a good option?

>>33918982 (OP)
Depends how old you are I guess

>>33918982 (OP)
I think so. But mainly because it interesting work field. I don't know if it's a good job market.

I mean, my issue with engineering is that you basically go to school to learn "how to learn", you're not an expert which sucks because you're basically trained to be an employee. I've see so many engineers being tossed from their companies only for reaching 35 yo. At some point, you're just outdated and they need the updated goys to work for them.

One of my friend started engineering at 25 and is now jobless at 32, which is not a proof in itself, but still..

My only advice would be, become an expert, start thus career only if you feel you might become an eminence at it, an absolute expert, and not just pass exams

>>33918982 (OP)
Definitely, if you want to learn about systems engineering.

No, if you imagine that it - or ANY other subject - guarantees a job

I want to find a job, why do you say that?

How about electrician so you will always be the man the clankers call when the tech software nerds need help fixing a hardware infrastructure issue.

It's what I (a 26 yo man as well) was thinking of doing to have a secure spot in the Techno feudalist world we are entering

I was studying electronics, but I've dropped out.

>>33919296
electrician, not electronics. The job MUST be hands-on.

OP... if the job can be done by someone in Chine, India or a South American country, the answer is no.

>>33919296
Two different fields. Electronics is Chinese sweatshop labor now, electrician is who keeps them fuckin lights on but take my word with a grain of salt because A. I haven't done it B. I am not on the tier of my peers C. For all I know there's going to be a fucking clanker bot that will be able to physically repair shit

I'm an electrician. Don't do it bros. This job fucking sucks. You get worked like a mule and treated like a slave. You are constantly put indangerous or even deadly situations. The pay isn't even very good. My journeyman at my last company had been with the company for 9 years, had run innumerable jobs for them, made the company tons of money, and was a complete company-man. He made $25/hr, had no insurance, no PTO, no benefits at all besides a 401k. That is so common in this industry. 2nd year plumber apprentices easily make $30+ and 2 year HVAC guys easily make $35+, at least here in Texas. Being an electrician is a trap and anyway it is being overrun by smelly brown retards who practice nepotism and fuck everything up anyway because they always lie about their experience and knowledge and the hiring people are always either other brown retards or HR women who have no knowledge of the trade so they can't do the incredibly easy job of sussing out the bullshitters. I can do it on sight by looking at skin color.

Anyway, plumbing or HVAC is much better choice
