I am a 44 year old Engineer. I have three degrees. Mechanical, Aerospace and Electrical. I am a member of Who's Who, both Lexington and Stratfords. I hold a number of patents.

I am unemployed.

For the last 20 years, (I graduated BSME from Syracuse University in 1981) I was laid off 15 times.

I left Engineering. I advise anyone getting a degree in Engineering to change careers, and I am very bitter about my experiences. To all those who think that I am wrong...well all I can say is Psweeeeettt! to you!

What is the worth of a four year degree that is obsolete within two years? What is the worth of a position that causes you to relocate every three? What is the worth of one that requires medication to succeed?

If I knew now what I knew back then...Boy would things be different....

I guess everyone kind of feels that way some time.

My advice to youngins'... follow your heart and not your wallet. Who cares if you get a job or not if you get out. There is not a free lunch, and when you sip from that mug of coffee, you might find that someone has slapped the chains of bondage to your soul and any resistance would be squelched by the cloak of scoff.
