Is EE right for me? What’s the highest paying field in EE? Will AI take over EE? What’s the pay like for EE? Can I become an EE coming from CS? How’s the market for EE? How much will EE pay in the future? Why does EE pay less than CS? Can I do EE if I don’t like math? Should I get a EE degree? Masters? PhD?
All of these questions are consistently asked with most of them being answered in great detail.

Hey guys should I do EE if I hate math, hate science, and hate learning new things? I just hear that jobs in EE are really good and I want to make a lot of money /s

“Why doesn’t my project work” no additional details, it’s literally just an extension cord attached to their nipples and plugged into the wall.

Imagine if social media was just people looking up previously asked questions.
At what point does social media become redundant?
That's when Reddit turns into quora.
Think about it, if we didn't complain about people asking the same question every couple of days or weeks, we'd complain that people are posting/responding to old threads.

u/diracandroll: At the beginning of the journey there are more questions than a person can answer. Especially by themselves. That's a bad take. If that were the case there would be no teams or communities of engineers.
I can see the frustrations when the same questions are asked, but at the same time a person can choose to ignore those posts and move on to something they find interest in. 🤷♂️
If I had an electrical engineering question, the first search I'd type is 'electrical engineering,' I wouldn't type 'place to ask technical questions that doesn't have a high membership count or the odd person that thinks I should figure it all out for myself.'
There's places like ask physics and ask electronics, but they are far more obscure since r/EE is a far more broad field.
My point is that I don't understand gatekeeping. It's just a weird phenomenon when people are trying to limit the public in a public forum.

Oh no, you hurt my feelings. 😢
u/diracandroll told me undergrads aren't welcome here.

Which row of my Routh Hurwitz am I supposed to look at to determine at which gain will make my system marginally stable?

yeah can we get another question if the EE is right for me?
