Are all engineering jobs hard to get into?

Where can i get drop-out Engineering jobs (India / US / Middle-East)?

• I'm an Electronics engineering student. Now in my third year. All along my engineering studies, i've failed badly in various exams, also taken more than 3 attempts in clearing some subjects. Now, again i failed with 10 marks less in 3 subjects. I was not allowed to write exams in 3 subjects. ... But i'm really interested in Electronics, and also have some good practical knowledge compared to other fellow students. I scored well in the start, and the grades went down in 2 & 3rd year. Now i'm thinking to drop-out, i want a place where my employer can utilize my creativity and make me learn things. So, where can i find Engineering Jobs in my field?

• Answer:

  I've never seen an advertisement for a job in the US for a drop out from engineering school. No employer I ever had made me learn anything. Entry level engineering jobs usually take lots of perseverance and not that much creativity. They will expect you to know the basics things and do what they tell you. They will not ask for lots of creativity. Engineering is very hard and takes a great commitment. Employers that I have had in the US have virtually eliminated training programs. All the people who have the higher level jobs think they are creative also and usually get listened to more. I would encourage you to get a technician type job. It will likely not be that creative, but if you are a careful worker good with a soldering iron, you may be able to make it. I hear your desire to make things happen, but it is tough to make your mark even with a degree in any size company that you are not the owner.
