[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are the job opportunities for EE or Chem E, for example?

CS I get it - but other 'traditional' engineering degrees?

..., but are there sufficient jobs for all the graduating engineers? [/quote]

Jobs are more limited and often lower pay for civil engineering, the HVAC and building/construction types of Mech E, or for power specialists with an EE degree.  Those work areas often also have the extra requirement of passing EIT/PE exams and obtaining a PE license.

No shortage of jobs exists for EE/ECE graduates in the non-power specialties. Electronics, RF design, signal processing, computer design, CPU design, ASIC/FPGA design all have much more demand than supply. I do not think there is much danger of over supply of qualified people in those areas.

Many EE/ECE graduates also end up writing software, often the higher salary low-level software of operating systems, real-time systems, or embedded systems.

Many non-engineers do not understand how painful it is for *anyone* to get through any engineering degree.  Anyone who says it was easy is not being honest. [/quote]
