I'm about to be an EET graduate (bachelors) in March of next year, I have passed the FE exam and thinking about going for PE exam eventually, but I need a job in my field.
I have received a relatively good GPA (3.65) and have taken everything up to Differential Equations and Physics 3 even though I didn't have to for EET. I want to become a real EE, I just couldn't afford to go to the proper school. I see jobs all the time but they state bachelors in EE, could I still apply for these jobs as an EET? I know if you pass the PE exam you are basically on the same level of an EE salary wise.
I know a couple "Real" EE's that dont know much about electronics, and have barely a 2.0 GPA, and there are a few EET's that know quite a lot and have experience. I think it always boils down to experience the most regardless of former degree.
I live in Pennsylvania, and the fracking industry seems to be becomming a boon for EET's, EE's, and ME's in the future.
Do I have to accept contract type work to gain the necessary 1-2 year experience most jobs require? Not sure what the best way to approach the job market currently
