Usually work under direction of engineering staff." ===
 * === Salary: "Electrical engineer salary range for the middle 50% is between $62,420 and $104,180." "The median expected salary for a typical Electronics Engineer in the United States is $115,039." ===
 * === Degrees required: it is required that you have at least a Bachelors degree in a engineering related feild. i.e. Science. ===
 * === Where it is found: This career can be located anywhere throughout the country, there are many places that have electonic engineering. Such as DRS, Harris, or any place that has elecronics. ===
 * === Colleges that have this career: "Top Computer Engineering and Electronics Technology School - Orlando, FLThe College of Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Central Florida is located in Orlando, Florida. The school offers numerous degrees for students interested in Computer Engineering and Electronics Technology. Specific degrees include Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, Master of Science in Computer Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology." Other top colleges include DeVry Univrsity and ITT Technical Institute. But i would prefer UCF because it is close to home and it is cheeper than the other two. ===
 * === I plan on pursuing this career because it is highly dependent on math and physics which i excell in. I have taken AP Physics, AP Calculus AB and I am taking AP Calculus BC which are all required in the degrees. ===
