People who skim through engineering reddit10/11/2023 ![]() Something went wrong with my guitar and just as I was about to pay $70 for a shop to fix it my friend chimed in that it’s only $8 worth of parts unless the pickups are fucked and he could teach me the entire electrical system in an hour over coffee. My own interest in it struck me completely out of nowhere. There’s all kinds of reasons a person might know this or that about electronics depending on their hobbies or what their parents did for a living growing up or their own curiosity. This is for advanced tech companies, those CEOs are smart. You do have people who actually have many ideas and problems that are not being solved today, it requires a lot of EE and other background knowledge, these people ends up being founders and CEOs and ends up hiring smarter EEs. I keep reading articles that people with much higher positions making more money are not as intelligent as to employees below them, my explanation explains why. The boss draws scribbles of his product design ideas and a team of real EEs gets busy designing them. This is how today's big tech companies work. You are basically changing careers at that point, you'll go from being a real EE who once did 90% circuit design to 10% now being the CEO drawing 100% scribble doodles of product deigns that has no relation to EE design. Let me ask you, do you want to be the CEO of your company? You'll need to be a complete different type of animal to be that type of person. "designing stuff" makes their lives more complicated to a greater magnitude. Their jobs are real chill and isn't hectic. Real EEs wouldn't know how to go about in designing stuff, they only how how to design circuits what they are tasked for and collect the six figure check. Design complex circuits for a bigger project. Honestly, real EEs simply do not care, thats what they live for and enjoy doing EE. Is it normal to feel like you are starting behind? ![]() I’m good at math and physics, I’ve had a 4.0 since 9th grade but now I don’t know wtf is happening, like maybe I only liked the idea of ECE. I’m already scared that I won’t be good enough for this field. But everyone in my class did robotics their whole life and seem to know what they are doing. I thought that was the point of taking classes. I know absolutely zilch zero about electrical engineering. Well I went to my introductory seminar and there was all these vocabulary words and they showed us all these machines I’ve never heard of and were telling us we could be getting internships and working on projects freshman year. I like all the ideas of careers in the field, fiddling with things, learning systems. I’m in my second year of college and I spent my first flip flopping around majors and trying new things before I decided on electrical engineering this year.
