Sounds like it's time to move.

Engineering degree and can't find a job? Where is he? Might have to be willing to move.

She, lives in a mid tier city. I was surprised too but she’s sending apps and have good grades but it’s just competitive

Baby cousin graduated with a comp science degree from ULL a year ago. He has an IT help desk job at a hospital. Has applied to hundreds of jobs and has gotten one interview that seemed interested. I told he may have to ride it out with the help desk job for another year or two. If that doesn't work, he might start looking at some other areas. He's open to moving, has applied to positions across the country.

Yep, that's where construction firms set up shop to woo big arse projects. Any smaller than San Antonio, she's probably up a creek.

My son graduated in December from LSU in civil engineering. he worked as an intern at a local firm in BR during school. When he graduated, he moved straight into a full-time engineer position. He bought a new starter house in January and got married in October. He states things are a little tight, but he's the type that will work his arse off to make it work.

You want a job before you graduate college, go be a teacher or a nurse. There is always a market!
