[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]
Is this 1991?[/quote]

Yeah when I graduated in 1992 a lot didn’t have jobs but it was a recession. I did internships every summer and had a job within a few months.[/quote]
+1 I graduated in '92 around when the recession hit.  Even  my low rated no name state u had local internships that paid but weren't glamorous jobs. They were boring office jobs, but I wanted the experience and the pay.  That internship resulted in my first job right out of college - $26K.[/quote]

I graduated '93.  Got my first internship in '91 (man that was hard to find nobody was hiring anyone).  Stuck with it the next summer.  Interviewed with many companies, had 4 offers but took the one with my original internship company once my manager finally got approval to hire me (they were not really hiring) for many reasons (fiancee worked there, wanted to get my masters degree and they would pay me to do that and all in all it was a great company).
