Does It Matter

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I just graduated out of high school, so answers to these questions will be appreciated :</p>

<ol>
<li>Say if I'm looking to major in Civil Engineering and I choose to go to City College of New York, will I be be a good candidate for a job after graduating?
2.Does City College have a strong background? Meaning, if I do apply for a job after getting my (lets say bachelors degree) degree, will employers look at my educational history and say, "this guy is a joke", or "this guy is ready for the job" ?
3.Will I be making at least 80grand after leaving City College with a bachelors degree, and a Structural Engineering Certificate ?</li>
</ol>

<li>Depends on what you do while you’re at City College. Take lots of math. Get an internship or a co-op. It’s really important you have some work experience before you graduate.</li>
<li>See #1.</li>
<li>Unlikely. Just checked salaray.com Civil Engineer I in New York City (zip 10001). 90% of people holding that position in that location make less than $74,000 per year.</li>

<p>Try for NYU-Poly, which I assume is on par with City and is more nationally recognized.</p>
