"I’ll bet that Dan had a really good time in college. Maybe he would have a harder time, but a good paying job if he had majored in, say, Engineering instead of English?"

I was thinking exactly the same thing. If he had a degree in Chemical Engineering...someone would call.

I certainly agree that an engineering degree, as far as job prospects goes, is far better then an English Degree.

However, a lot of people seem to think that just because you have an engineering degree somehow you are automatically set for life are way off base.

I know plenty of people with Engineering degrees who are out of work. A lot of employers won’t hire them because they are “over qualified” and are afraid once something better comes along they will leave the job.

It’s hard everywhere folks, instead of blaming those who are out of work why don’t we focus on who is most to blame by and large, the f’kers in Washington who caused this whole mess to begin with!

Who would be calling? One of my many former co-worker Chemical Engineers who were recently laid off and are finding it difficult to get a new position?
