OK, I am a junior is EE/CS program with a 3.27 gpa. My major gpa is 3.5+ and I want to say something I have been trying not to think about:

What did I learn that i couldnt/ or havent learned since HS?

Circuit analysis - check ( knew it before and the professor sucked so i watched online videos)

Electronics - Doing it currently along with signals

C++ Programming - check ( learned it in HS, could have done it without college)

Physics , Math ( calc –> Differnetial equations) ( ok i learned something new)

Now… Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, Lockheed … all want junior status + and i cant figure what they want from us. I dont know squat about electronics, or signal analysis so how can hire people before the junior year ends?

Do engineers at UG level even do technical stuff during internships? I just feel stupid that Im in 15+ debt so far. What a waste.
