Let's face it, the job scene can be a pretty scary place, and everyone has questions about what things are going to be like when they hit the workplace.
So what are your questions about electrical engineering, computer science and related careers? I'll be answering some of your questions when this blog starts up again in two weeks, so go ahead and post your queries in the comments section, or email me at johnrplatt @ gmail.com.
More soon!

will I be stuck in front of my work desk for the rest of my life? how do some engineers end up becoming CEOs of some company? is my best chance to be my own boss that I should be an entrepreneur at some point of my career?
How valuable is it to get a bachelors in electrical engineering and then a masters in business? What sort of positions would someone with those degrees hold?
How do I, an electrical engineer, get a meaningful position within a large/major corporation? My background is varied and I've spent less than 2 years with a company since 2001.
I'm and undergrad in Mechanical Engineering, i have a really good gpa, but still I don't seem to be what businesses want. What should I do to advertise myself better, but not hurt my grades?
I have a BS in chemical engineering (Drexel), an MS in environmental engineering (Villanova), 23-years of plant engineering experience, and am back a Villanova working towards an MS in mechanical engineering. I have been a chief plant engineer for three different plants handling process engineering, project engineering and management, environmental management, process safety management, and site safety compliance. These plants are real commercial plants as opposed to mom & pop shops but relatively small. Too small to higher full blown engineering staffs so for all intensive purposes, I have been the engineering department. Thus, I have evolved into a generalist, as opposed to a specialist, having to know a little about everything that goes on in plants but not focusing entirely on one specialty.
I found myself unemployed last December for the first time in 23-years. My last plant was a victim of the economy. There has been plenty to do searching for a new job but the results have been discouraging
We don't do much in this country anymore beyond generating paperwork, serving each other cheeseburgers, suing each other, and talking to each other about nothing on electronic gadgets. So I wonder, is there still enough manufacturing left in the Delaware Valley to keep a guy like me employed? Or perhaps my engineering career has run its course and I should be thinking career change.

graduated last year in biomedical engineering (bachelors degree) and have yet to break into my field. I want a more energetic position in my field than the position I have now. haven't had much training to list as experience/transferrable skills. Most likely couldn't afford to further my education if I wanted to if that is the only solution. what do you think about breaking into the biomedical engineering field from a small town with no biomedical engineering opportunities for me?
