[quote=UCGal][quote=AN][quote=maybe]Electrical Eng: It is hard to go wrong with EE. They are always in demand, but it may be a little too abstract for a kid who likes to touch things. Math is life and death in this field– if you can’t do it, you die.[/quote]
I can personally vouch for this statement. But the demand is much less than CS. Out of the handful of EE friends that I still keep in touch with, only 2 are doing EE related work. One is doing PM (Project Management) and 5 are doing CS work.[/quote]
EE’s mostly end up doing software or embedded software. (Raising my hand as an example)

Personally, I’d be looking at it from a few perspectives… what is easily outsourced vs what is harder to be outsourced.

Imho this is going to be lesser of an issue moving forward…With a weakened U.S. dollar and predicted shortages of people not entering this profession in the U.S., the demand will be there, since “outsourcing” isn’t necessarily going to be on cost moving forward.
