Hue hue. Time and money well spent.

>falling for the STEM meme
for a bunch of cicrcle-jerking intellectuals like /sci/, I'd imagine they'd be smart enough to check wanted ads in their field before graduating to get an idea of the relevant knowledge needed.
Guess not, psueds.

tch
CS/Math major
My job will consist of writing a life-critical embedded OS.
Once my foot is in the door, I plan on switching over to their finance dept and being an analyst.

You only have yourself to blame.

OP = huge faggot

Job interview question:
Explain the mode of operation of the amp you posted.
First, explain the purpose of R9.

>look up for the labor market for Mathematics in my country
>everyone talking about teaching and nothing else
I'm fucking panicking. I'm not spending all this time and effort to become a teacher. If I fail to get a job outside of teaching, I'll definitely kill myself.

It seems you are incapable of continuous learning and applying the vast amount knowledge you have accumulated. That makes you a brainlet.
>>8626284
then take electives that a very applicable (stats, prob and calc)
Hi, OP here on mobile. Yes, I'm a pleb and that's why I'm not doing anything impressive.
>>8625970
I have pretty much no clue about the circuit and why it's built up like that (just picked it up from google) and I barely passed amplifier stages. I guess it's a single-ended mode of operation because I can't see any elements that would make it differential. Not sure if you were after this kind of answer or if you meant if it is A, B, AB or C class or if the feedback elements affect it. I think it's used for some RF application.
R9: no idea why it's there instead of an open circuit. The only thing I remember about a resistor being "connected" like that was about CE transistor output resistance modeling (Early voltage/Ic, typically very high) so I guess it's to do with stabilization if there's a high fluctuation of T4 collector-emitter voltage.

Yeah, I know I wouldn't be able to handle too many new things to learn at once and produce any meaningful work.
Have you seen the most popular software and hardware applications in past 10 years?

You're an idiot. Get a masters in control theory and enjoy the good life.
>>8626476
>for some RF application
Correct. I should have asked for 'functionality'. It's a selective, remotely tunable pre-amp, tuned by varying the supply voltage, very clever. R9 is a startup resistor. Without it the current source T3 would have no initial base drive. After power-up R9 is shorted by T4 and the circuit runs. With some experience you read such circuit diagrams like a short story and this was a good one, learned something new, thank you.

Have you ever tried Java? shit is easy
probably could of done that when I was in highschool
>>8625877

explain further pls(got interested)

Control theory is the most interesting subject an engineer could study. And you can make big money working in process control for the chemical and petrochemical industry. Usually chemical engineers take those jobs, but EE also can work in the field if they specialize in process control.
>>8627316
Also I think you can make money with more common EE aplications of control theory too, but I'm not sure, since I'm not an EE.
