I just started my education to get a BA in telecommunications management. I was really excited about becoming a network planner or something to that effect. Lately it seems that I am probably wasting a lot of time and money since the job market is nonexistent. I have another year until I am supposed to graduate. It's not to late to change fields. Any advice as to what i should do? Does network planning have any kind of future? Changing my major will break my heart but if it must be done.......I was so excited cause I finally figured out what I want to be "when I grow up." Just my luck. Some feedback might help give me an idea of what to start thinking about. |

I think one needs to be patient. Telecom momentum usually follows the economy between 12-18 months. When the economy started to go downhill late in 2000, so did telecom awhile later. If you stick to your current major for the remaining year, you could have your dream job in a very short time, when network will again be needed. Until then, be flexible with any job opportunity.
