I hope some of the experienced engineers here could help me out
with this dilemma.
I was previously doing maintenance in the military aerospace
industry and during this time, I discovered that my interests lies
in doing R&D. So I went to complete a electronics degree with
1st class honours while switching to a career in the service
industry doing maintenance and repairs of RF equipment. Meanwhile,
I have applied for many R&D jobs and have not yet received even
an interview call.
Is there really no way out for someone like me to get into
R&D at the age of 29? Or should i just resign to my fate and
continue in the service line. How about getting a masters or pay
cut just to get into a R&D position. I believe I am not the
only one going through this.
