its all based on what you THINK is the answer.  No employer is looking for one certian thing.  I believe personally that they want someone who is well rounded - have a variety of hardware and software experience.  Also able to keep up with the ever changing technology.  It is getting more based on personalities too.  The 'normal computer geek' is quite and likes keeping to themselves,  which is understandable.  I can loose my mind sometimes talking to people about equipment because they are just so stupid about technical things.  Though if you are friendly and dont have a holy'r then thou attitude people in the company are going to be willing to work with you.  Makes you a little more valuable to the company if people actually are willing to work with you.

mcdonalds, wendey's and other fast food places, then people don't do as much physical and manual labor as they used to, because machinary has made it easier, then there is also the tv and the computer and other electronics that distract us.  also, people are expected to work more so they are more tired at the end of the day and actually have less time to be active or exercise...

It continues to impact use.  Since the internet is part of telecommunication in the broader sense, it has affected you right now as you are reading this.  The distance between people grows less and less everyday.

This report is pretty thorough about occupations by industry in the UK, and is also broken down by sex which is an important divider.\n\nhttp://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_labour/emp_by_occ_ind.pdf\n\nCheck out Page 2.\n\nYou will see the Service industries are the most popular, such as Teaching, Public Administration, catering, hotels, with Manufacturing at about 15%.

The border has nothing to do with that. The problem is that in the US computer job employees need/want more money and the company can go to another country and get people just as qualified who will work for much less money. The US economy is over-inflated compared to that of many other other countries. Either the pay for the other countries must all match the US pay, or vice versa.

None if you live in the US.  If you are India where all the computer jobs are thanks to Bill Gates, then go ahead you'll always be able to find a job there.

It's all about supply and demand\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

Demands that are elastic change greatly with prices. This can vary by product, by target market, by location, by virtually anything.\n\nFor instance, the demand for Coca Cola can be inelastic or elastic, depending on whose demand they are measuring and where. People also speak about general inelastic or elastic demand, but normally, a marketer has to get down to the nitty gritty and define what they want to determine.\n\nGenerally, demand becomes more elastic as more options are available. Generally, items that have no real replacement (gasoline, to most people) have fairly inelastic demands.\n\nMany luxury items actually have mostly inelastic demands, contrary to popular belief. You have to drop the price of a luxury car a lot to really change demand. Also, it usually hurts profits more than it helps. (Note: when a demand is hurt or dimished by drops in price, it still makes it elastic, however.)\n\nDifferent consumers can respond differently. For example: some consumers will buy Coke, even when Pepsi is on sale, and some consumers don't care. They buy whichever brand is cheaper. \n\nStrong branding usually helps make demand more inelastic. (Some people will pay $500 for a Gucci sweater, because of the brand.) Product differentiation also makes demand more inelastic. (That's one reason why Mac can sell it's laptops for thousands of dollars, when the average PC laptop will run you around $500.)\n\nDemands are never fully elastic or inelastic. Rather, they are always "relatively" inelastic or elastic.

Electronics has a better scope, but with the way the industry is moving, Electrical is a secure move due to the endless demand now and in the future.

Seattle---read below for my professional reasoning:\n\nThe United States Depaertment of Labor "Occuptaional Outlook Handbook" says this about graphic designers:\n\n"Demand for graphic designers should increase because of the rapidly expanding market for Web-based information and expansion of the video entertainment market, including television, movies, video, and made-for-Internet outlets. Graphic designers with Web site design and animation experience will especially be needed as demand for design projects increase for interactive media—Web sites, video games, cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and other technology. Demand for graphic designers also will increase as advertising firms create print and Web marketing and promotional materials for a growing number of products and services.\n\nIn recent years, some computer, printing, and publishing firms have outsourced basic layout and design work to design firms overseas. This trend is expected to continue and may have a negative impact on employment growth for lower level, technical graphic design workers. However, most higher-level graphic design jobs will remain in the U.S. and will focus on developing communication strategies, called strategic design, for clients and firms in order for them to gain competitive advantages in the market. Strategic design work requires close proximity to the consumer in order to identify and target their needs and interests. Graphic designers with a broad liberal arts education and experience in marketing and business management will be best suited for these positions."\n\nBased on this, I would say Seattle, especially since the Microsoft campus is getting bigger. Bill gates recently announced that he is adding 13,000 more jobs soon. Get over here and get a job while you can! Don't forget that the Seattle area is the tech capital of the United States.

I'm not sure how they calculate it but I would take into consideration:\n\n1: Type of hardware need, and if it needs to be modified in anyway -costs extra money\n\n2: Software - Is it standard software or something that needs to be customized.\n\n3: Wiring - how much feet of cat5 and fiber are needed\n\n4: Manpower\n\n5: Expected completion date - if its too close to the deadline, then you need more people or extra hours, so therefore more pay.

The impact is most obvious in the automotive industry, where Japanese vehicles are outselling American vehicles. Electronics is another industry where the Japanese have traditionally dominated the American markets. The impact is that the Japanese are taking market share, meaning sale and inevitably dollars, from Americans.

% change in quantity that consumer is willing to buy, divided by % change in income (assuming that the price of good is held constant). \n\nTells you how much impact do changes in income have on the demand. If less than 1, it is called inelastic, and there is little change in demand; is larger that 1, - elastic and high changes.

I would say the continual shift of control from marketer to consumer.  Consumers are controlling how and when they access marketing messages, so marketers have to be more and more relevant and targeted.

I consulted the Occupational Outlook for an answer for you. Every year the US Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes print and electronic versions of the\nOccupational Outlook Handbook. They also have some other periodic publications that spotlight certain career areas or issues.\nThey  have a section that covers engineering as a whole, and breaks it down into types including electrical. \nhttp://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm\n>According to them: Employment of electrical engineers is expected to increase about as fast as the average for all occupations through 2014\nThey further define "about as fast as the average" as an "Increase 9 to 17 percent". <\n\nGetting this information now is a really great idea!\nVisit various job job boards -- especially those that are engineering related. \nFor example, I found a site specializing in EE jobs Electrical Engineering Central. ( http://www.engcen.com/electrical.htm )\nAnother specialty sites is Electrical Engineer (part of CareerMarketplace Network.com)http://www.electricalengineer.com\nYou can not only get a feel for the job market -- you can see which specialty skills are in demand! \n\nHave you considered membership in IEEE? (I am not a member but do believe in professional organizations as they have helped me). They have student membership:\nhttp://www.ieee.org/web/membership/qualifications/qualifications.html#Student%20Member\nIf you get a membership, you can access their job boards.
