Agreed.

There aren’t too many unemployed with:

BSME

BSEE

BSCE

MSChE

BSPetE

BSNE

degrees....

I’ll let Google tell anyone reading what those mean...

[hondact200]

BSME - Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering
BSEE - Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering
BSCE - Bachelor of Science Civil Engineering
MSChE - Master of Science Chemical Engineering
BSNE - Bachelor of Science Nuclear Engineering
BSPetE - Bachelor of Science Petroleum Engineering

Mathematics and Sciences are good degrees to obtain. Education degrees are now useless as schools no longer give a grade just Pass, fail, excellence and Average.

In my current project, an engineer needs to be fluent in C, C++, Ada, FORTRAN, Java and Javascript. HTML/CSS is expected as well as competency in UNIX/Linux including use of editors, shell scripting, X11/Motif, ESRI mapping tools and APIs, Oracle database embedded access. That's just the tools. Competency in the customer's application is necessary as well. Damn few candidates can step up to the plate with the necessary skills AND pass the security clearance required for the position.

In 45 years, I’ve never been unemployed for more than a few weeks.
I have BSEE, BSME, BSChE & BSCompSci.
My oldest daughter has BSCompSci and BSNursing and she has no problem getting a job.
My youngest has BS in communications and she’s long term unemployed.
