text: plz help!!!! what degree has the best job opportunities???? mechanical engineering tech or electronics engineering tech? why? be wary of the tech aspect to these degrees they will limit your abilities.  the tech aspect is usually associated with a two year degree and pretty much means that you will be limited to being a technician.  if you are looking for that type of work then the electronics would definitely be the better of the two.  the electronics will open you up to a lot of industries that the cannot.  plus the pay will usually be a little bit higher.  i would suggest however going all the way with either of the degrees.   you would still be able to do the tech work if you want but the actual engineering r/d type work would also then be available.  i am currently an electrical engineer and know quite a few people who have been limited by that tech part of their degree.   i hope this helps
