I got a job at a mechanical department, but I graduated with EE degree. Should I look for another job?

I am an electrical engineer but I got job in the mechanical department. Should I work there? Is it useful? If I work there, will it spoil my career?

    Is the job something that is interesting to you? I am a mechanical engineer by degree but am currently working in telecommunications which is more an electrical engineering job. The best advice I got from someone is the "An engineering degree is a problem solving degree". Employers know you are able to learn and they can teach you the technical part of the job. If the job is something that is interesting to you take it! But you never know what you will actually like until you try it as well. Also does the company have electrical engineering jobs that you could move into after a few years in the mechanical department? If you truly want to do electrical engineering you want to make sure there is a way to easily move out of the mechanical department. Having a different degree will help you bring insight to the department that will give you an advantage.
