Every stem major I know is jobless and unemployed. The market for STEM jobs is super competitive now that Obongo spread the STEM meme. You wont get employed unless you got a 4.0 from MIT with 3 internships under your belt. Sad truth.

Trust me. I'm a recently graduated engineer working for Ford, and I can tell you that if you're not from MIT or an Ivy League with a 4.0 or any internships, dont even bother applying.

STEM degrees are useless without the recognition or internships to back it up.You may as well major in gender studies

That guy is probably a college student. I'm at Ford and I work very closely with the HR and recruitment staff. They tell me what the general consensus among STEM companies is.

You wont find a job unless you have AT LEAST 2 internships and AT LEAST 3.5 in your STEM degree.

Here's some math for you. At any given year, 200,000 new STEM graduates come out of college. There's only about 20,000 jobs available at any given year. Of those 200,000 people, 10% are in a top tier school. 90% do not have the grades or internships. They simply aren't qualified.
The remaining 10% are from a top tier school with the right amount of internships and grades.

Ford doesn't hire low hanging fruit. If you major in stem without a 4.0 and internships, just drop out and learn a trade or join the military. Sad truth. That's the ultimate redpill

>>129429126
You should be an electrician or a plumber, or a carpenter. These are always in demand.

>>129429315>>129429344
>>129429183


Look, I'm only giving the facts. Check the Bureau of Labor Statistics yourself. The reason people say that a STEM degree will give you a higher chance of being employed was because there weren't many people in the programs. And people who WERE in the programs dropped quickly because they couldn't handle it. This weeded out the poor STEM gradautes in the past.

However, ever since Obama pushed the STEM meme, colleges began implementing rules saying that any bozo could graduate from a STEM program no matter how stupid he was.

The industry picked up on this very quickly and there is a general hiring freeze for non top tier schools with high marks. It's a shady industry, and you can thank Obama for that. You're no better off for employment than a Women Studies major

>>129429444
Low level engineers are usually like drafters for the first year or two but then they get to do more.

>>129428977

This is a straight up LARP. Study electrical engineering and computer science, and there are plenty of jobs. Some experience in machine learning/statistics does not hurt either

>>129429524
Are you looking at working on products or power generation/transmission?

>>129429612
But you're paying out the ass for an Engineer when a Drafter would do all the CAD work faster and better for less money. It doesn't make sense financially.

I guess they just like giving their machinists rage-aneurysms.

Don't cry to Pol when you end up unemployed because you had bad grades and no internships. I warned you. Good luck with the STEM meme.

>>129429586
Im pretty sure degrees get progressively more difficult as time goes on and the standard increases- youre also implying new engineering companies aren't popping up all the time

>>129429764
Of course grades matter. Just taking a bunch of EE/CS classes and getting Cs in them will not get you a job. Internships are very helpful for companies to gauge how you are as well.

Just because ppl with bad grades (who most likely are bad engineers) cant get jobs does not mean stem is a meme.

>>129429728
Well like I said the first two years.

After that you need to be able to generate and evaluate designs rather than just implementing them.

You do have a point, if you are doing STEM and not at least getting a 3.5 you are pretty trash tier imo. Also a lot of STEM majors neglect to get outside experience while they are getting their degree.

>>129430035
Boston Dynamics does some really cool shit in robotics. Not sure how the corporate culture is there, though.

>>129426373
Its not a meme, but you best have internships by the time you're done, or know someone already working in the field or you're gonna have a long job hunt.

If you wanna be delusional, be my guest. I already have my job at Ford, so I couldn't give two shits about an anonymous nobody college kid looking for advice on here for their rigorous degree. Dont listen to me. Just get your 2.0 and no internships and I'm sure you'll land a job at your dream engineering corporation

>>129430218
Getting a 2.0 and no experience is pretty much failure no matter what major you are bud.

>>129429524

Which branch of EE are you from?

If you do anything like signal processing/communications, try the companies doing machine learning. Amazon seems to be doing some of the most interesting work here, though Google, Uber and Apple also do cool work. Among companies doing traditional communications try companies Qualcomm. They have a nice cash cow in the mobile industry and pay well ($80k starting) but the work is less interesting.

Another avenue to consider would be the big bio-tech companies. These are looking for competent signal processing guys. But most of these are located in the bay area.

You mean Industrial Engineering? That's the degree im thinking to start.
It's very broad so should be applicable.

tau beta pi represent

>>129430587
Industrial Engineering is a top tier degree.

My friend majored in it and he got offers from all sorts of engineering companies.

Best part is, if you're sociable, it'll be easy for you to social climb. There's also virtually no math or physics.

It's a huge meme, at least in North America. Everything >>129426647 said is true. Also you cannot be an autist otherwise you won't get hired on after having an internship at a company. So to sum it up you need to have excellent grades (which means non-stop autism-level studying), be a 10/10 socialite (which means you won't get a job if you're an autist, which is a prerequisite for good grades) and have lots of friends in order to even be considered for a job. Doesn't sound too appealing for a $60-70k job with a constant threat of being replaced by pajeet.

>>129430587
No, Engineering Management. Taking an Engineer and just handing him the management position of the department is a good way to have a poorly managed Engineering department. It's a different skillset.

Engineering today is a very fast moving discipline anon. One can not pick up a set of skills and earn a living through them for 40 years as was possible for the boomers.

I've heard of stories of engineers here job hunting for 2 years without success, then they find a job in the US after a single week of looking and on top of that they make twice as much AND THEN on top of that the cost of living is lower

Most of the best engineering schools aren't Ivies.

If you go to a decent school and get a local internship then you should be fine.

Science is research, technology is computer, industrial, research and other tool development, math is mathematics and engineering is the amalgam of the 3 in order to implement what the other 3 are doing. In a perfect world, all for understand their positions. Unfortunately, the second best thing is all 4 competing against each other for recognition, E being the least likely to be recognized.

Typical, irrelevant non-argument. I don't hate tradespeople. The trades are just a stupid direction to take, and you only go into trades if you're either too dumb for work suited for a white man.

boring. I got some time to rethink what field I will start in. Just wanted to hear ancedotal stories of fellow Civils.

Joining the lunar rover robotics club this semester after making friends with a few of the leaders through class, they just won a huge NASA-ran competition- planning on getting to know as many people in the club as I can and then making myself known at the competitions- is this the right path?

I respect the fuck out of the 50+ yr olds I see in class so no- its never too late for an education. 26 is really young

Lol wrong. I NEETed for a solid year and some change before I applied for jobs. Job hunt took a month or two, I secured a job, and voila. I knew lots of uptight pricks like you in college, though. Always so quick to tell others how fucked they were. Kys

THE CHEMICAL ENGINEERS HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

Unfortunately they're still drunk.

>Think the 'alcoholic ChemE students' thing is just a meme
>jump to senior year
>20 of us pound a beer in front of a professor in a bar at 2pm before going to his friend's class.
>After our last final, have a beer olympics at 11am, until the cops make your graduating class leave the abandoned yard you were partying in.

Would recommend.

>>129435790
all of my professors are pajeet but one is cool as fuck and def doesnt believe in the boo in the loo. I get like 1 white english speaking professor every other semester

You've been tainted anon. Transfer to women's studies.

Well picking out a major based on having fun, rather than potential future earnings is a problem.

I'm butthurt because I'm a failure

My career so far:
>graduate with no internship because nobody would hire me despite 3.8 GPA, talked to recruiters at the school job fair who promised me an interview but then backed out the next day
>started school when I was 22 and already had 7 years work experience, knew how to write a resume and cover letter and perform in job interviews
>graduate in 2015
>spend 6 months unemployed trying to find a job in my field
>give up and start working as a forklift operator while still applying to jobs in my field
>over the course of 2 years I got 4 interviews
>failed them all except one at General Electric which went really well according to the HR person, didn't get the job but she said she would contact me if there was another opening
>have an interview next week for a phone technical support job making 45k vaguely related to what I studied

Just kill me

Find what you enjoy and do it well, money will come to you eventually.

You misunderstand friend. We didn't drink to have fun, we drank to forget. Still happens in the doctoral program too.
>maybe not recommend that part

Plenty of money to be made here though, if you like massive chemical facilities.

Damn anon, that sucks. Maybe things are worse in Cucknada regarding the job market. I majored in German (lol) and got a job selling pharmaceuticals. Had to get certified for it but it only took a month of studying. Making a solid 50, 55k annually now.

>>129436302
Volunteer more. It doesn't even have to be remotely related, volunteer work quadruples your worth per job.

>>129436792
Is your field dominated by attractive women? I've heard that before

>>129436302
Damn anon. Just find confidence in that there are other people in a situation like yours, but they dont have an engineering degree. You got value somewhere, for sure

In the US, I figure all engineering outcasts end up going into federal jobs, military, or w/e the fuck they want because engineering degrees show fluency with math and logic. Most alternatives detract from lifetime earnings tho, but it aint everything.

>>129436302
>>129436496
Meanwhile, all the stacies that partied their way through a degree are able to line up a job no problem

>>129437435

Sales in general tends to be like that. Probably because attractive women make good saleswomen (at least when they're selling to men) and they tend to have good interpersonal skills. Autists and ugly people with poor hygiene do not last long in sales, for obvious reasons.

If I want to go into the automotive industry what should I specialize in? I mean what would be useful to know?

I fucking forgot to mention that I'm already doing EE. However I can choose some of my subjects later on and I was wonder what should I choose. Tried finding some info on the internet but not much was available.

> All of these electrical/mechanical shills

Chemical engineering is where its at bros, such a challenging and versatile degree - best part is there is no pajeets or chinks.

Don't go into finance. Become a CPA and apply to major companies and banks. You should be able to sell the fuck out of yourself with a bs in math. Do that for a few years, Go to top 25 Business school for MBA and BAM you're making six figures in your twenties.
t. business undergrad.

Also, take accounting classes and see if you like it. Accounting will be baby shit for you though. If you graduate with a good gpa, you would start out ~60k in Florida
