<p>Anyone have a child going to or looking at FIT . Are the opportunities after graduation the same as in the Northeast?</p>
<p>I go to FIT. Do you mean what kind of jobs are there in Florida? I assume you’re interested in engineering opportunities. There are a lot of engineering companies around here like Harris, Rockwell, Lockheed, Boeing, Northrop, NASA, and Raytheon to name a few. This is a great area for getting internships and ultimately a job as an engineer.</p>
<p>Thanks ForEach, My D looking at biomed. eng. -recieving athletic scholarship as well. She is concerned that most engineering is aerospace/mechanical.</p>
<p>I don’t know a lot about biomed. I assume she aspires to work for a pharmaceutical company? You’re right, the big companies are mostly headquartered in the Northeast. Florida is no podunk state though. They have offices down here and there are plenty of other local biomed companies too.</p>
