Question

Which branch is good for engineering?

Answer 1

For money, I think petroleum, maybe followed by industrial or chemical.  

Answer 2

Being a practicing professional chemical engineer for 15 years, I can say that I have had a lot of opportunities to select career paths and have always had a very comfortable paycheck and benefits.  Additionally, there is an amazing amount of versatility and I have landed on my feet when the manufacturing company I was working for didn't work out and I was immediately able to change gears and go into consulting.

I credit the extra chemistry knowledge that other engineers are not exposed to for the versatility.

Answer 3

Civil, software, telecom

Answer 4

computer, mechanical, civil, structural engineering have the most jobs and are the most sought out  

Answer 5

I went chemical because I heard it was the most versatile.  That was 20 years ago...but I now make six figures and enjoy my work.  COmputer may be the way to go today.

Answer 6

I got my degree in electrical I work for the government as an aviation engineer. But I could have gotten a degree in mechanical, structural, aerospace, computer or physics and still work for the same organization. A buddy at my job is a chemist also he does fuels.

So it doesn't really matter what you get a degree in, it only matters what field you go into after college. And if I could recommend a field to work after school I'd suggest the energy field. I know two guys that work in the energy field one's a petroleum engineer for exxon and the other's a power systems engineer for a utility company they both make a descent living.
