You can work for me but all you'll get is a roof and food, maybe some goodies. It's a tough market for labor, bruh.

Sucks for him.
Every CE I knew was a ME or ChemE bomb out.

Best advice I can give to anybody early in an engineering curriculum is work hard, make the grades, and develop a personality.
There are almost unlimited opportunities to learn specialty stuff like FEA, vibration analysis, etc.
Take advantage of all of it. Take the hard tech electives. No matter where you go to work, being any type of specialist will show quickly and increase your worth quickly regardless of your major. Once you graduate, nobody gives a shite how hard your major was. Chances are your boss partied his way through some joke degree.

Does a more extroverted, salesman-esque personality go a long way in engineering? The 2.5 partier with a silver tongue has better career prospects than the 4.0 perennial shut-in, correct?

It depends.
Go into sales and you can be pretty close to a dumbass in some industries. If everybody likes you and you have good toys and sell plenty of stuff you'll do well.
It won't get you far in design work.
It just depends on what you want to do.
Graduate with a 4.0 and a personality and you don't have to worry about any of that shite.
Eta: it's pretty hard to smooth talk your way into any engineering position without knowing people. You can't bullshite technical stuff to somebody who is asking technical questions.

I'm half way through PETe curriculum. I hear talks about my field being saturated in a few years. Anyone think that's true?

I hope it doesn't get too bad. I don't see how it could be that saturated with how much drilling is happening domestically. I guess I missed the boom by a few years.

BLS says the growth rate is substantial (I think 22%) until 2020 but I trust those frickers next to none.

Damn, after reading BLS job outlook I feel pretty good hah

Apparently not, so I will chime in:
The hardest undergraduate degree you can get is physics.
As an experimental physicist, you must be a Jack of all trades and a Master of 3 or 4.

Man, I wandered into a Chem E class at Tech once.
made damn sure I only did that once

For those schools that have the major, Engineering Physics is the right answer

I would add try to do a co-op and try to get summer jobs in the engineering labs or depts.

Let the nerd slap fest begin. CS isn't an engineering major noob.
