EE, 2015
Didn't get an engineering job until 7 months after graduation.

Didn't have an internship in school (tried to get a few without any luck, was passed over on one because another guy had "interning experience").

Yep. I did two internships with the same oilfield chemical service company while at LSU. So, when my grad date was approaching , I was offered a position.

ETA: LSU Chem-E
