May I ask? What is a power engineer? I am trying to help my son find a good career.. I told him mechanic or electrician.
Power engineering is the field within electrical engineering that deals with power distribution. These days EE are turning out a lot of computer engineers yet the old power crowd is dying out.
Utility power. Your computer is plugged in to that power. Mechanical, Electrical and yes, Civil Engineers. It is not glamorous, but always in demand. You, I and everyone else wants the lights (and our computers) to stay on.
electrical engineers generally either go into computing, or power systems.
If I had it to do all over again I would have become a cyber security engineer. We can’t make them fast enough or good enough and everyone wants them and there is a war for them. Most of the good ones work for banks and insurance companies. Just lost a senior director level guy because another company offered him over 50K more than I could counter.
