Generally, how is job security as an engineer?

Siress · 04-06-2011, 09:58 PM

I do not know of an unemployed engineer...

Same here (well, except for an EE I know who quit his job to pursue his dream of becoming a brewmaster). Nearly everyone I went to school with had a job lined up well before they graduated.

He's not unemployed. Unemployed, as it is defined, is a person without a job that has been seeking a job, at least partially, within the previous four weeks.

Just like to up this post with a question to you engineers. I'm interested in the Energy Systems option of electrical engineering. I guess they also call it Power Engineering. Here's what it covers:

Systems and components related to generation, transmission, distribution, storage, processing and consumption of electrical energy on large and small scales. Control, protection and reliable operation of the electric grid, hybrid & electric transportation; electrical power systems of vehicles, aircraft and ships; electromechanical actuators, industrial and manufacturing processes requiring electric energy, house appliances, and more.

Is this a solid career? Either looking into maintenance of some big stuff or working on the power grid.

I would say so. Infrastructure will always need to be maintained or increased upon, so that could be a core source of employment. Then you have all sorts of development in new power technologies that will need to be researched or improved upon.
