<p>Excellent.</p>

<p>I’ve worked in software engineering since the mid 1980s and I know a lot of engineers
with really bad, bad and mediocre social skills. They make very good money for our
location (40 miles outside a major metro) and many are wealthy from stock options.</p>
<p>You’re fortunate as you’re majoring in an area where job prospects are decent with
a good future outlook and you’re at a very well-known school for this major. Coming
out of school, I’d suggest looking in areas where you’ll really enjoy the work. This
could be at a startup, a big company, an engineering company, or your own company.
If you do well at your job, the money should eventually come along. The social skills
should come along too, especially if you work on them.</p>
<p>The economy is uncertain right now but you have better opportunities ahead than do
most.</p>
