    More like American engineers at least. I graduated with a bachelor’s in engineering last year and this has been my experience looking for work.

      In engineering, you always make more money if you ask less questions

      Good luck, looking for a job after graduating was a nightmare for me when I got my engineering degree. It gets easier later though, so don’t get discouraged.

          I actually applied to several non-defense government jobs last year, but I haven’t heard back yet. Apparently it takes forever (more than private industry) to hire people, but even then I’m not exactly an attractive hire.

          I just started my graduate degree so I’m probably not going down that route. I’d be open to a summer internship in public works, but I literally cannot count on them to get back to me in six months.
