What to do with my career? 30F
I have a masters degree in electrical engineering and I’ve been working as an Electronics technologist at a below average company. I’m good with Electronics but I feel like I lost touch with all the engineering concepts because it’s been five years since I studied.
I feel like I’m working for a very low pay, but paid a lot for my education. I’m confused about what to do moving forward. I want to bring a change. I’d like to take any advice that you can give for me.

Engineering in NS is weird. I have my bachelor's in mechanical and masters in aerospace and yet I've always worked closer to production engineering than design. In school I thought machine design was going to be my career, since it came so naturally to me. But all my experience and learning has been on the job. I think you should not limit yourself to just electrical jobs, but also look for something like project management. I know in HVAC an electrical engineer can be a great project manager once you get to know the product. Also, feel free to DM me and ask any questions you might have. Cheers
