<p>What are the kind of engineers (civil, electrical...) with the most chance to be employed after graduation?
Does anyone have statistics for freshly graduated engineers with a master or bachelor?</p>
<p>chemical electrical and computer are all reallllllllllly easy to get jobs with after graduation.</p>
<p>How about Enterprise Systems Engineering, aka general engineering?</p>

<p>hey K...Tran,

<p>tom725 - I didn't mean general engieering in a broad sense of all engineering majors</p>
<p>I was referring to the one at UIUC in which combines engineering with some aspects of business. Sorry I didn't mention that. Do you know what kind of jobs people in that major get?</p>
<p>I don't know much about that major....</p>
<p>but that major is in the IE Dept.
and the Dept also offers another B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering</p>
<p>well, if you're interested in a business oriented Eng major the best choice would be IE.</p>
<p>Chemical engineers do have good salaries, but you don't have as much freedom in deciding where you live if you follow the money. </p>
<p>Civil is the exact opposite - there are many many opportunities in every city (there's at least one in every town government). Job security is great for those who choose to work for the government. Of course there are also civil engineering consultant firms as well as construction firms, so jobs are plenty and diverse. The tradeoff (nothing is perfect) is a lower salary.</p>

<p>The other negative part of the tradeoff is that many CivE's find that they have to pass the PE exam, whereas other engineers rarely do.</p>
<p>That's true. Not everybody can pass the PE exam, even after multiple tries. In that case, your career growth can be severely stunted.</p>
