<p>it's not too late. even if you graduate at 33. given 7 years of working, you could still become a senior engineer or manager by 40. just get internships related to what you plan on doing during your summers and youll be fine. when you are applying for positions emphasize your experiences and skills, not your age. of course engineering companies are going to hire someone with work experiences and life experiences. esssentially, theyre buying you at the same price as a 20 year old.</p>
