My eldest son has a bachelor’s degree in math from Harvard. He is in graduate school now, but a number of his graduating classmates had job offers rescinded because of the poor economy. (This was in 2009.) There are no guarantees regardless of your degree.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to warn this girl away from engineering in general because of your bad experience in one particular field.
