I really want to have a successful career as an electronic engineer. I'm currently working as an electronic technician now, but I'm not happy with this job because it is mostly assembly work. When I first got my AA degree in electronics, I was a little curious about the field because there was such a broad range of things that you could do. I switched three jobs and I am on my fourth one now. I stayed at the previous jobs from 6 to 8 months each. I really want a component level testing job. That's why I'm thinking of quiting this one, but I worry that being an electronic technician is irrelevant to being an electronic engineer. I know that many engineers never had a trouble shooting background. I wonder if I should switch jobs or just wait until I receive my BA in about 10 months. I know it looks bad to jump from job to job.
will if you want to move to the UAE you will find allot of jobs waiting for you
Wait until you get your four-year degree. Your salary should jump three folds once you get your engineering degree. I know someone who started at his mechanical engineering job at $60,000 a year.
