Electrical engineering technology certificate worth it?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
What if one were to get the certificate will the person be able to find a job also continue working towards an electrical engineering degree?

Nope. You'll only want an MBA in EE if anything. Otherwise, you won't get hired. Obamanation WOOOOO!!

With any degree, it all depends on what you do with it and how much effort you put into finding the job that is right for you.





I have a BSEET (Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering Technology) and have found very good paying jobs over the years. I am currently working as a Maintenance Engineering Specialist with the US Postal Service. I entered in as an Electronic Technician and worked my way up.





I have seen some people get MBAs and have nothing to show for it. Probably because they believed that jobs would find them. Not the case expecially in this economy.





You should at least shoot for a bachelors in whatever field you want to enter. Then research jobs and companies that interest you and go after them. Keep contacting them every so often even if you don't get the job right away. They will eventually get the picture that you are serious about working with them. And, don't be afraid to ask for feedback if you don't get hired. Good companies will tell you where you are lacking. Then you can try to get extra experience and training where they will eventually want you.





It also pays to have several professionals critique your resume.





Good luck.

Yes and yes. It shows a commitnent for engineering! I have been at it since age 14. As for the job. Dont expect it to come to you. 300k some projects abroad. Better tax.

certificates are worthless, personally, I'd suggest getting a bachelor's degree so that it looks good on a piece of paper
