I majored in Physics and Electrical Engineering with a minor in mathematics.

As an undergrad I worked a full time job and carried 18 credit hours per semester. I slept about 4 hours a day on weekdays and maybe 6 to 8 hours on the weekends.

Most of these unemployed “graduates” have degrees that should be printed on toilet paper, that’s about all they are worth.

Sure, there are plenty of unemployed engineers out there too, but they are pounding the street looking for work, not bitching and demanding a hand-out.

If you're like me, every time one of your friends told you how your course selection was too much work and too little fun, you just smiled with the knowledge that you were getting a marketable degree and they were not.

Even in bad times, a trained engineer can get some kind of work that doesn't involve condiment selection.
