Civil Engineering is hazardous to your career prospects

<p>I’m sorry aggie10 was having such a rough time - I wish he would update us since he posted that back in March. How many resumes has he sent out? It wasn’t exactly a boom time when my husband and I got out of grad school in May 1986. My local job offer was rescinded. We sent out 273 resumes all over the country. We got back fewer than 10 responses, most of them polite nos. It took us six months to find work, 2500 miles away from Austin. My father-in-law used to say he was really worried for the “kids” in our generation.</p>

<p>We will never hire anybody else. Too much hassle, unfortunately.</p>

<p>NegativeSlope, you’re just finishing your sophomore year, right? A lot will happen in two years. Just work hard and try not to worry so much.</p>
