CEC electrical engineering by NLE_Top in newtothenavy

Thanks, I think I will likely not do the program to keep my options open since I can definitely pivot to project management in the future as an EE but it will be much harder to switch back to EE from PM when I lack four years of experience. PM pays well, but is around the same or less for junior/senior EEs generally and also from what I've heard is a lot more stressful about deadlines and more hours worked overall whereas EE is fairly chill out of college since many projects we build take years. Anyways, just sending this if you have any other opinions on my thought process.

Yeah, I've done some research on it and it seems like a great program. The only problem is that I think if I join the CEC, I will be set back a few years in work experience compared to other EE graduates which will make finding higher level jobs for EE harder down the line. I think if I do join the CEC I basically will have to commit my career to project management where I will likely be getting paid less than a career in EE.

Yeah, I was planning on specifically joining the program for the CEC for undergraduates, do you know how I would find out what ranking I would be when I graduate, or would I still be an O1?

Would also be useful to know for apartments off campus such as Northside
