I am currently an Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology student and right now i have to choose what option (major) i want to go into. I'm thinking of doing the embedded systems option but i'm not to sure on the job situation in this section of the electronics industry. I'm from Vancouver, BC and from what i've heard there aren't too companies in the embedded systems field around here.
I've spoken to recent graduates and they tell me its hard to find jobs in the embedded systems field or anything to do with them. They told me that they do more testing than anything else at the jobs that they have or had. I've been recommeded to go into the industrial power option because there are alot of jobs available after i graduate, but i don't like the industial power stuff we've done so far.
I just wanted to know what the job situation is with the whole embedded systems industry. What are my chances of finding a job (here in Vancouver and elsewhere) with a diploma of technology. Should I get a degree??? Will i be able to get a job in the US??? Should i do the industrial power option??? HELP please, i can't make up my mind.
