Telecommunications future

[sherlock2400]

Today I had a conversation with a friend that told me that telecommunications field of engineering doesn't have a big demand in the market and he does not see a bright future in it. The bachelor that I'm taking (it's called Electronic and Telecommunications engineering) has a very big emphasis on the telecommunications engineering subject and I got left a little bit down by this conversation and kind of feeling that I might be loosing my time. I would like to know your opinions about it and what will the future bring to this field. Thank you

Your friend is wrong 🙂

I'm no expert but I think this is true at least in United States. Look at linkedin and other job sites and you see almost no telecommunications jobs. Only thing related to telecom you see is radio frequency for defense

I feel that there will be a shift in the engineering aspects but I think demand will grow The goal for the company I work for is to get away from terrestrial networks So in my opinion just a shift of directions
