Here's why an electrical engineering degree is worth it

I’m Ali Alqaraghuli.

I make videos to train and inspire the next generation of engineers.

I’m a full time postdoctoral fellow at NASA JPL working on terahertz antennas, electronics, and software.

PhD in electrical engineering is insane amazing work brother

[maximelao]

I am majoring in Electrical Engineering this fall and am super excited! It will be hard but the great thing about humans is we can overcome anything if we don't give up and put in the work!

[BredNuts]

I'm going to be a junior in college this year and I'm studying computer and electrical engineering. Your videos help put me at ease because I have so many of these same thoughts, doubts, and experiences. Gonna keep pushing through!

I'm near 30; didn't get the chance to get a degree; self taught security researcher and certifications.... I was thinking of what degree to get, cyber-security and computer science i am grounded well in so should be chill.
BUT you have inspired me to pursue the hard road, the road to combining it all. Oh damn man I can see the content and peace you

I wanna be in that 0.1%; If i get a chance to I pray will be true! .. I wanna do electrical.... 10000%

Thank you bro and God bless you!

as hardworking as you are, you can success in every industry

[bradleyever]

starting undergrad this fall for electrical engineering! thank you for the encouragement and tips :) subscribed!

[thefifthwall]

im also a mid performing student who wants to do EE, this was very reassuring thank you

[natalie]

Your values about Engineering, Job etc... are truly admirable!

[campbellmorrison]

Agreed, confidence is the most important thing you gain, its a bit like taking life back to first principles, without confidence you don't even start.

[WillyBogard]

Why would getting an internship be so difficult if the demand for Electrical Engineers is high.

[sgmaxx]

I really like you Ali ! You made me sure of my decision of having elected EE, I am currently going to my second year of EE and I am excited to know more about it! !

I'm senior Elextrical Engineering and still didn't figure out what I really wanna do after graduation, but one thing hit me and I can relate If my classmates say this lec is really hard and procrastinate on studying it but when I study it, It's not that hard, so don't let others demotivate you, may it'll easy for you❤

[ramkamdi]

Please make some videos on the most demanding skills or must have skills for electrical engineers in latest.
Thank you

I majored in Biochemistry in college (minored in C.S.) and I went to college thinking that I wanted to go to medical school. Now after graduating, the thought of going to med school feels dreadful to me and I'm honestly not sure why. As part of my minor, I had to take a digital design and computer architecture course and I found that I really enjoyed that. This led me to being interested in Electrical engineering. Now I'm thinking about pursuing a B.S. EE. Your videos are very informative and helpful, thanks for sharing your experience.

[JanTecD]

Thank you. I'm currently studying for my exams (2nd semester electrical engineering) and even though I never thought about quitting this still motivates a lot!

You are under 40, my friend. And, you work for NASA. Your case is individual, and not representative. For most people, they will need to get a Masters in Business, or a PMP before they hit 40. I am a retired EE, with a Masters in Telecommunications. Became a PM, and retired comfortably. Only the government rewards guys like you (congrats, really). But because I had a near 40 year career, I've seen really smart guys like you thrown on the street, at 40. At NASA, you will likely continue to thrive. Because, its NASA (I worked on NASA projects for years...)

I am majoring in e.e., have no idea why, but still excited!
sometimes, though, I get scared that I'm doing something wrong :/

[SOON]

I am 28 and I have a BSc and MS in Electrical Engineering and have just started my career in the power industry. I'm considering whether to pursue a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, as I've been offered a fully funded scholarship. While I find myself more drawn to industry than academia but I also love learning and solving complex problems. I'm still unsure about the path I want to take. Any recommendations, Ali?

[jordon]

well said! I remember watching videos as a freshman and now Im about to graduate in winter with a BS in EE.

Getting an internship is super important. Arguably as important as earning the degree itself.
