Ooof that’s a tough question. It’s technically an engineering degree, so I was under the assumption that I would actually use it in my day to day. I just unwittingly stumbled back ass-ward into a completely unrelated technical field, so yeah. At least that fine piece of paper did its job and got me the connections I needed to be employed.
which engineering degree is it? is it like theoretical research(experiments, writing science papers,etc), i can see that being a very hard to get a job from.
Which is why I was sooooo grateful that my professors helped get me my first internship outside of academia. Most of my job moves afterwards have been through connections I made at working so it was critical for my career to get started.
your PI, PROFESSORS went out of thier way to help you, thats probably what Universities should having resources devoted to or my other suggestion was warnign students about certain fields. attribute my state school is how they treat HS students, just push them through the system and hope they dont ask too much questions, what they are after was FRESHman to get thier butts in the seat, because they know thats the cash cow for full tuition money.
Is that a skill? Or a fine piece of paper?

Chemical Engineering —-> RF signal processing
i did RF signaling in undergrad or was IF in ochem
both, the job prospects are so low in many stem fields its pretty much difficult to apply to a job , which are pretty much gatekeeped.
