[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated with my BS in 2010 in hospitality management. I have working in hospitality management for 2 major brands since then. My first job began 2 weeks after graduation because I had spent ALL of my free time applying and networking. I attended all of the alumni mixers, got a list of alumni in high power positions in my field, and worked by butt off to secure a position. Several of my friends were engineering majors and I can't think of a single one of them who don't have a job in engineering. It is very doable if you are dedicated.

I am currently pursing my Masters degree and continuing to work in my field. It comes down to the ability to motivate yourself, dedicate yourself, and [b]being open to opportunities.[/b] Have your son get involved with his schools alumni association, look on linkedin for engineering groups in your area (many groups hold networking events once a month and list their jobs on LinkedIn), and I'd let him know he needs to find other arrangements come 6 months from now.

That job he wants may be hundreds of miles away.  He needs to be open.  Do what you can to support his search, and encourage him to search broadly.  [/quote]
