<p>I’d say most any engineering job would pay more than $15 an hour. $15 an hour might be typical with some paid internships but for a full time engineering job, I think that’s really low. </p>

<p>As for his chances, those stats seem pretty good. If the work experience was good (or especially if it is relevant to the company he is applying to) then I would think he’d have a good chance. Just my two cents…</p>
