I will be moving into the USA by September and I am interested in doing engineering, but it seems you cant get a job right after college and most people tell me engineers are laid off frequently because of the economy. So I want to get some advice on that. Reset Sort By Default Marjory Anderson , Architect of the Capitol Answered Friday, June 13, 2014 at 10:44 AM I think it depends upon your specialization. For example, if you are in nuclear, reliability, mechanical, and specialties along those lines you will probably be pretty safe in finding a job. However, in the safety and environmental engineering fields we are often considered as overhead cost and so the opportunities there could be affected by the economy. Tight now however, there are many opportunities in those 2 fields. Good luck to you!!
