RE: She doesn’t get an unemployment check because she was in school. Only 1 of 50 of her cohort has gotten a job in engineering since graduation.
1) What part of the country do you live in?
2) What Engineering degree does she have?
3) Is she willing to relocate?
1) I live in CT, but she lives in CA, Bay Area
2) BS in Engineering, materials engineering.
3) That is part of the problem I guess. My brother has an excellent job, which makes more than she could at entry level. Like 3-4x more. But even still she hasn’t stuck her nose up at jobs because of money, she is just looking for experience. He gets a huge retention bonus in a year because his company was bought by a larger competitor, so maybe after that they’d be willing to look further afield.
