College Jobs
I mean I am not in college, but I have to choose my major that’s why. I am a little a worred about engineering cause i see my uncle, who has been a chemical engineer for about 20 years, just couldn’t keep a job for more than 6 months?
So can anyone please help me. feel free to mention any better major you can think of.
Thank you.

I’m a recently retired Director of Engineering of a large Aerospace company. All areas of business have their ups and their downs. On up cycles we couldn’t find enough good engineers. On down cycles we had to lay-off plenty…as much as 35% of the engineering workforce. However, those that were let go usually found another job within a month or so. I don’t recall many who remained unemployed for too long.
We live in a highly technical world, and technology is advancing everyday. I highly recommend engineering. The one area that might be a little shakey is computer software engineering. There is a trend to offload this type of engineering to India, Mexico, Russia etc because of their low labor rates.
