<p>I have heard that it is very rare for someone to land a job after graduation that has to do with what you studied in college, is this true for Gatech as well?</p>

<p>I chose ChemE, which I've heard has moderate-mediocre job prospects, compared to biomedical which has great. Does the major matter, or is it all networking and meeting the right people to get the job you want?</p>

<p>Cannot be further from the truth. If you want to make sure that you get a get job after graduation I strongly recommend to CO-OP. Georgia Tech has one of the nation’s largest co-op program. </p>

<p>Also when your school conduct major specific career fairs that tells you that their grads are strongly sought after.</p>
