Most employers are eager to hire young, fresh minds into the work force, and there is definitely room for us. So far, upon graduating I’ve been offered two full-time positions, which I unfortunately had to turn down because I have decided to go to grad school first. There is competition, but there will always be jobs for civil engineers.… It’s definitely a good time to be a graduating engineer.” -- ASCE News
