<p>Apparently, some of my relatives had a hard time finding a job in the engineering field so I am currently being discouraged from considering a major in engineering.
I also heard that engineers are currently being outsourced by foreign workers.</p>
<p>Is it really hard to find a job with a major in (mechanical) engineering?</p>
<p>I graduated in mechanical engineering in the heart of the recession (2009) with only a decent GPA (3.3) and had two job offers lined up before graduating. Given, I am only one person, but I didn’t have that hard of a time finding work. Ended up choosing graduate school anyway though.</p>
<p>You’re doing something wrong if you can’t find a job with a Mechanical Engineering degree.</p>
<p>Getting offers isn’t that hard for software engineering. Passing the interviews can be challenging though.</p>
