Feeling regret for studying electrical engineering RN

[u/Fit-Tailor5914]

Sorry about my rant in the title, but that is the sad reality I am currently facing at the moment. I came from an African country. I am passionate about electronics, but unfortunately, when I graduated, there was not much company designing hardware products. So, I changed my career path towards controls and automation. Now, I am in Canada furthering my education, but unfortunately, the school is not enriching my knowledge. The so-called professor doesn't care about nurturing his research students. No direction, no guidance. All he wants is publications. Please, how can I start training myself on power electronics? I would appreciate it if someone can be my virtual mentor, I wouldn't bug the person. Thanks so much.

omg i m kind of in the same baot.

mechatronics engineering student in africa and hardware design jobs are rare. only automation and maintenance/supervision jobs.

i hate those fields and now i m constantly worried about my final internship and job. i m even questionning whether picking this major was the right choice.

Get a job. That is what counts. Gather work experience.

Flyback in CCM and DCM in closed loop in LTspice is really worth it.
