[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I graduated from an Ivy with an engineering degree back in 1991, I only knew one person who got a job by May.  We all managed to become productive citizens since.  He’ll be fine.  [/quote]

Engineering and you didn't have any internships? No employer offered you and your friends jobs at the end of your rising senior summer internships?[/quote]

No.  Internships were something a small number of kids got back then, not the whole class.  Most potential employers were laying people off, not hiring interns.  [/quote]

Well in 2004 my now DH graduated from a third tier school with a degree in engineering.  Almost everyone in his major had a job offer by March of senior year.[/quote]

Yes, folks, thanks for the history lesson. Guess what? Things have changed since 1991 and since 2004. [/quote]

Well, in 1989 most of my graduating class was not able to find a job by graduation, and most of us had to work doing whatever we could find until we received that first professional break.

Schools and temp agencies are hiring OP. Lots of federal internships are also available but there is competition. There are plenty of federal problems for young college graduates and usually large Universities have career fairs in person or even virtual career fairs. [/quote]
