In this video I’m answering a question about whether you should specialize in your electrical engineering degree—like communications/RF—or keep it general. The way I look at it, a general EE degree gives you the baseline skills that pretty much every EE graduate has, because we all take a lot of the same core classes. But when you specialize, that’s what separates you from everybody else applying for the same “new grad electrical engineer” roles. I walk through real job postings (like NVIDIA new college grad roles) to show you how different titles demand different keywords and skill stacks—verification, systems, CPU design, ASIC, VLSI, Verilog/SystemVerilog, and even random stuff like Perl. I also use my own experience: I took VLSI as an elective, and that alone can put you a step ahead versus someone with the same degree who never touched it. Same thing with RF—everything I’ve learned in the RF world gives me an advantage over EEs who never invested time there. My main takeaway is simple: figure out what you want to do, then specialize hard and build projects that match the job description. Especially with the economy getting worse and people struggling to find jobs, you want a skill set that makes you unique and hard to pass up.
