Hi all. I am a high school student who would like to become an engineer. I am currently familiarizing myself with the profession. I would like to learn about the intricacies of the job market and figured you guys, as engineering students, would know a thing or two about finding entry-level roles. What interested me in pursuing engineering is the technical nature of the work and a robust job market. That said, as more and more people are going to college, some are reporting an oversaturation of entry-level engineers. My question to you is this. If I go to a well-regarded school, get at least one internship or Co-op (preferably two), and am willing to move, will I have a hard time finding a job after graduation? If the job market is becoming saturated in more mainstream specializations (chemical, mechanical, electrical) then I might major in something more niche, like mining engineering. If the people who can't find jobs are just slackers, then I might as well do a major that offers me some more flexibility.
