Start
Early & Stick With a Plan - Developing Marketable Engineering Skills
by
Heinz P. Bloch, PE
For the
foreseeable future, the “job of the future” will exist in a world that wrestles
with issues of outsourcing, offshore design and manufacturing, and generally
uncertain employment prospects. Among the job seekers, aspiring engineers need
to develop effective ways of finding and keeping employment in this murky
environment.
Guidance
is helpful as you ponder the question of where you should be headed in this sea
of instability. Today we live at a time when professed experts expound
diametrically opposite views and often have the audacity of serving up their
views with an air of infallibility. The answer as to where you should head is
multi-faceted, but being balanced and learning a marketable skill instead of
going after an ill-defined “education” is certainly a good start.
