join the military. they love college kids. you get a bonus and your pay grade is higher than high school grads. also you will be placed most likely in your degree field.

Stop posting this thread.
I'm starting to suspect that this is either a butt blasted libarts fag, or a shitty engineer who wants to help secure his future by dissuading people from getting STEM degrees.

Is electrical engineering really that bad of a job market right now?

Asking because my brother is about to graduate with an EE degree next spring. He currently has an internship at the power company. I just assumed he'd have an easy time. Is this not the case?
>>
>>70035828
Might as well throw that degree away anyway

>>70035894
i think its a big meme with EE people not finding jobs.

Why?

You clearly don't have a degree from there.

Post it with timestamp within 10 minutes or you're lying and there is no reason for anyone to keep replying.
>>
>>70035445

This OP

Get involved in your community and show that you care more than the average graduate , and you should see results

Provided you have social skills for an interview
>>
>>70036189
>>70036208

So it's all just bullshit and the job market is fine?
I was under the impression that the only awful job market in STEM is if you're doing compsci, which has been a shit degree for like 10 years now and isn't on the same level as an engineering degree.

None of these people ever post proof of their degrees. They either stop replying altogether to make new b8s or ignore the request

OP's just being a faggot. The job market's probably going to be shit if you don't look more than 20 miles away. If you look anywhere outside your city, you'll be fine.

>>
>>70036844
yeah cause like it's so crazy to think someone would have an engineering degree. a lot of people aren't getting jobs with their degrees right now it doesn't matter if op is making his story up. You're on 4chan use your imagination.
>>
>>70036788
Nice meeem

Sure, if you go to McBumfuck State University and get a degree with a 2.0 GPA and no internships then you might have trouble finding a job.

It's one of the most employable majors.

Also he got it from a good school with a decent GPA. A job is not hard to find at all with that.

People regularly post these meme threads, I don't think a SINGLE ONE has EVER posted a time-stamped photo of his degree to date.
>>
>>70035669
this.

a STEM grad can go straight to OCS and be a butter bar in 6 months. As an engineer officer. You wont get promoted to field grade as fast as West Point grads, but you can have a solid career. Especially if you are smart and get along with your higher ups.

Really? I majored in EE at the University of Michigan which is comparable and I have a job lined up after school.

I've had internships since freshman summer too. Did you just never intern or get involved with any extracurriculars on campus?

All my friends have jobs too and they don't have as high a GPA (3.75). Did you apply to only a few places or did you apply late instead of in the fall?

Just wondering because our schools and GPAs are comparable. This is really a great bait post

Job market is fine for EEs as an EE speaking
>>
>>70037778
OK then I would like an unemployed engineer to post a photo of his degree from a good University on here, with timestamp.

Can I please see one?
>>
>>70037683
OP is literally making his story up. He posted the exact same thread with UCLA yesterday.
>>
>>70037902
I figured my bad. Yeah I had companies crawling all over my dick, anyone would with that good of school and GPA. I had 4 offers after only like 5 interviews and two of the companies flew me out to Texas (Texas Instruments and National Instruments).

EE is a great field, would recommend
>>
>>70037889
If you've never met anyone outside of your norm I guess that explains why you're on /pol/. Did you carry your diploma around with you after you graduated?
>>
>>70038129
No I don't fucking carry a diploma around everywhere. I keep it in a drawer with my other documents like everyone else.
>>
>>70038129
You are also on /pol.

Who said anything about carrying it around? If he is a recent graduate he obviously has it, framed as well(considering it's from Berkeley not some timbucktwo school).

So why is it so hard to post a picture of it? As soon as you ask them they stop responding all together it seems.
>>
>>70038256
That was what they call a rhetorical question. Tbh I gave my diploma to my mom I don't care to look at it ever again.
>>
>>70037683
Not OP but what internships would you recommend in NYC. Or how did you find yours

I looked for a few internships up here, but the only one I could find was IBM which is in upstate NY. I would have to rent out a place up there and I just don't have the money.
>2nd year student here

Why would you give your mom your fucking degree?

Apply for a work permit here.
High wages and demand for good skilled
student. Also what's good here is that you don't
need tons of work experience to start here. Also english is the buisness language also in Switzerland.
I'd rather have a good skilled student from the us here, then 1 unskilled more asyl-refugee.

EE would get you a job anywhere.

Did you bring a MLP plush toy to your interviews, perchance?
>>
>>70038537
Idk do you think I should have done something else with it?
>>
>>70039170
Yes you should frame it and put it on your wall, it's an accomplishment.

But you don't have a degree. You are lying.

>>70034192
Stop posting this shit every fucking day.


PS you're lying since I haven't seen a time-stamped picture of your grade.

I keep mine in a drawer with my sports medals and other things I've worked to get

You spent 4 years working toward something . Why would you not keep it in your room ?

Also , I'm assuming Most people here use their pc in their house , so it's really not a big deal to take a picture (even on a phone) of your degree and censor the name and university , and post it

It takes 2 minutes max . It's good proof and you might get better advice on here if you do

I don't know.

What do you have to gain from not posting proof when it takes several minutes to snap a photo and uplosd it?

Take your degree and go be a manager at kohls.. May take a few years but 6 figures and a ridiculous amount of "paid vacations" or team meetings on tropical islands. Retail sucks but when you make 6 figures for 42 weeks worth of "work" it's not too bad
