I graduated with an Electrical Engineering degree 5 years ago and have been working as an Engineer in the power sector since.
I have switched jobs twice in 5 years hoping to find the right job, but lately I think that EE it's just not doing it for me. As a woman I feel like I need more social interactions, and people I can relate to and enjoy working with but that has not been the case in the past 5 years. I enjoyed studying Engineering but what I was thought in school is very different than what I do at work. I don't feel like what I do matters at all or if I'm being challenged. I know this is sad to say but as a woman I don't see a fulfilling future in engineering for me. This might just be my experience and the places I have worked at but I just don't want to waste anymore time. I'm considering going back to school for a law degree (Patent) or an MBA. I'm having trouble deciding and would like to know if anyone here could help. I have researched on both degrees and I think each would satisfy part of what I'm missing in my current job as an Engineer. I worry that an MBA would not get me far and out of the engineering field and I also have no idea what the market will be like for a patent lawyer in 3-4 years in this bad economy. I really need to make the right choice since I'm planning to start a family soon and I know there will be lots of hard work and I want it to be worthwhile.
Please help
Thanks
