<p>Doesn’t that refer to how the graduates are doing as of NOW, not as of directly after graduation? That means the older grads got jobs, but within the time frame of graduation to now. So 2006 grads had 4 years, and 2009 grads had one year. Obviously it’ll take some time to find emloyment. If there was mass unemployment for CivE’s, then all these %'s would be small, not just 2009’s.</p>
<p>Also, in regards to the article, that guy was just asking for it. He had no drive, just expected everything on a silver platter. He should’ve started putting in effort during highschool, not post-graduation. Waterguy, maybe you should use this as a warning to not mess around. Find something you like, which might or not be civil engineering, and bust your butt at it. Stay ahead of the game, be on top of grades and possible interniships, and you’ll be 100% fine. “Lee” obviously wasn’t on top of any of that, if he actually exists.</p>
