Career Decision and Life Direction in Engineering
Asked by mars3015
I am considering moving from Engineering, Electrical to Engineering and Public Policy. I am considering going from working in microelectronics and semiconductors to Alternative Energy Policy. I would like to do a Master's and PhD in this area.
I would appreciate any thoughts on this. I am wondering whether energy issues will be popular if oil prices go down and also, what else anyone thinks about this.
Thanks!

Best Answer:
I have a EE degree and designed power plants and many other energy projects.
I went for an MBA after 5 yrs in the business. The experience with licensing, legal and policy issues helps a lot when you select your masters path.
I'd recommend you consider it.
A:
If you can do it, go for it!!
I'ma former high tech engineer and tech is not going anywhere anytime soon. Alternative energy is the hot area and I can't see that changing anytime soon.
It's pretty much an obvious decision.
Best,
