How difficult is it now for an engineer to get a job than in the 90s?

Cristian - I believe there are ample entry level opportunities for engineering grads. DO NOT focus on what "social media says." The best advice is to communicate (dare I say network) with your professors or other professionals you know or have met. It seems that the best employment opportunities will come from people you know. You can get employment through responding to advertisements but there are plenty of companies looking for entry level engineers that do not advertise. If you have a particular industry or company that is of interest to you be proactive and contact them. Bear in mind it will take persistence on your part but if you show interest and set your self apart from others, you will get noticed and may get the opportunity you are seeking.

Godspeed.

Hi Cristian,

I am not sure about the 90's. I actually started working in the middle of the 2000's. Having said that, I believe there are numerous opportunities for college graduates with Engineering degrees. I know for example my particular industry (Oil/Gas) has gone through some period of slow growth and cut backs but every year we are hiring college graduates. Other industries may be doing much better. So I take the words of social media on this with a grain of salt.

Best,
Farzan

Ron G. expresses my thoughts on this subject quite well, Cristian. Take whatever advice or opinion you see on Social Media with a huge grain of salt...be skeptical. The advice you get from these sources is often worth precisely what you are paying for it: absolutely nothing.

Engineering is, and generally has been, a Field with a high demand. You wlll have taken the hard courses to graduate with the Degree and ultimately have had to pass several difficult qualifying exams to become a licensed engineer. Only a relatively small segment of college students successfully pass these hurdles and the need for trained engineers is always high.
