I can see why engineering is difficult to fill.

I know that from my search for an entry level/internship position for this summer that there are positions out there. Of course, it doesn't help that a lot of companies are looking for people with with a Masters degree or higher with a current PE license, who have 5-10 years of experience in that particular field (but NO MORE than 10...I've seen that in countless ads) and who are willing to work for next to nothing. Putting "MUST have 5+ years experience with Pro/Engineer" in the ad isn't cool either, considering that there is more than one popular solid modeling and CAD suite on the market, and that someone looking for an entry level position isn't likely to have 5 years experience in anything. [rolleyes]
