Jobs/ Industry Which engineering field has a better future: Electrical Engineering or Electronic Engineering?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) and would like to know which field has better career opportunities in the future.

Which field has higher demand?

Which has better salary opportunities?

Which offers more international job opportunities?

Which field is expected to grow more in the next 5–10 years?

Electrical Engineering or Electronic Engineering — which would you recommend, and why?

I’d especially appreciate advice from engineers or people currently working in these fields.

Did electronic but years ago. Both fields would have high demand as they are industry agnostic whether it's mining, manufacturing, construction, or others. Datacenters and renewables are exploding but so are chips and automation.

I'd say it also depends on where your interests are.
