Hi All,

I am new to this forum and fairly new to the work force as well. I graduated in June of 2006 with a BS in ELE. I have been working for a US government company, specifically with electronics. The pay is very good, as are the hours, flexibility, etc. I had interned a few days a week at this company while a senior in college, so I'm comfortable with the people and system, etc.

However: Although my company has a wide range of projects, I feel as though I have become somwhat pigeon wholed into electronics and coding (FPGAs, VHDL, etc). To be perfectly honest, I can't say that while in college I was exposed to many real life applications of electrical engineering - I knew I had an interest in it, I didn't know what else to do, I knew it payed well, and I kept doing well in my classes - even though I complained about them. My point is, I honestly don't really know what real careers are out there for grads with a BS in ELE.

I had received a few offers from private firms in NYC (I'm originally from right outside NYC), but the work they did just didn't seem to excite me - and I don't think anyone did a real good job of explaining it.

I whole-heartedly know that I don't want to work with electonics, FPGAs, and I really don't want to write software code. It seems that all the ELE's I talk to are involved in electronics or writing code at some point. I have looked into Power Engineering but I really don't know what that entails (everyone has vague descriptions but no one seems to say "This is what I do everyday.")

In short, my dilemma is the following:

I don't know if I should scratch the whole ELE thing and try to find something in a related field or possibly even unrelated. I search online all the time but I just don't know what types of careers can utilize an ELE degree and don't involve electronics or coding (or small cubicles for that matter). What is out there!? How do I say I don't like electronics and coding and still claim to be an Electrical Engineer!?

Thanks to anyone who managaed to read all of this and any help you can provide. I really appreciate it.

-R
