And engineering is one of the most employable majors. </p>

<p>Majors like political science or anthropology are not very employable, especially in the current economy. And especially with GPA 2.1.
Unless you have parents or other relatives who are already saving a spot in a family business.:)</p>

<p>When my daughter graduated from high school in 2012, one of her friends decided to join the Navy. He passed his ASVAB test in October or November 2011 and signed papers right after that. He had to wait for his initial boot camp til November 2012. His recruiter said that joining the Army (Navy, Airforce, even Marines) became very competitive, and waiting lines are long because a lot of recent college graduates are desperate to join. They have their student loans to pay and cannot find any job.</p>
