I have two kids in college, a communications/PR major and a mech. engineering/poker major. This is what we have read.... 95% of the high paying jobs out there are engineering jobs. 4% of American born college students are engineering majors. I'm glad our comm/PR major is a girl because she might marry an engineer.
Oh yes...there's no IT jobs...whatever are all the poor IT majors going to do? Maybe apply to one of the hundreds and hundreds of IT jobs posted in NYC alone over the last week? http://jobsearch.monster.com/Search...=miles&qlt=1307142&qln=1059940&lid=550&re=502
Good luck with your son in engineering school; chances are, if this economy continues on its current path, he won't be able to find a job when he gets out. Just like the EE/CS engineering grads of the past decade have discovered (nearly all of them are unemployed!).
Mostly fakes (ie: a dozen different agencies submitting to the same job), or they want many, many years of experience. Or they want to pay a salary that doesn't even make living in NYC worthwhile. There are IT jobs...just not for Americans who actually want to earn enough to live.
lol...you have an excuse for everything. Admit it pitz..you're a failed programmer and now you have a grudge against the IT world.
I'm not a programmer, but I know many graduates who have sent out hundreds, thousands of applications, and rarely even get the time of day from anyone.
You're not a programmer anymore...right? Because you couldn't cut it in the programming world. You failed at it.
I never was and never will be a 'programmer' per se. Don't really have a lot of interest in coding to be honest with you. More of a systems/design guy.
