For EE students

The following is a recent conversation between me and a Electrical Engineering professor in the Silicon Valley:

Professor: P
Sammy Cafe: S

P: Don't do digital/Verilog type of projects, all these jobs are going off-source fast.

S: But Anaolg design company don't hire fresh grad.
P: That's true, you need to be good. They hire good students.

S: No matter how good I'm. Investor won't pay $50K more to train me comparing to outsource.
P: Don't worry about investors. Be good to make a senior enginner wants you.

S: You area a consulant of startups. Does investor expect startups to outsource some jobs.
P: Absolutely.

S: How many EE fresh grad in this school can get into EE industry nowday.
P: Around 20%

S: Thanks professor.

So I think, if you are EE studnets. You have two choices. 1. Be good. 2. chance major.
