my engineer sons both found permanent jobs through internship opportunities. the students who did not intern scrambled for jobs just before graduation. the college might not have a handle on jobs after graduation, but there are usually some internship positions advertised.
one son found his internship through his university - other son had to find his own. he looked for biggest companies in his field, sent his resume & applied online.
engineers are still finding jobs.
What he said - internships. I was a comp sci major, and they were key, as they were for most of my friends.
