Same goes for your friends, in todays market they need to move if need be to the larger concentration of jobs in radiology and engineering. Even if they have to take a job lower than their knowledge etc. Experience is Experience. I wasnt suggesting they go out to mcdonalds for a job, i was simply stating that you cant expect to be a senior level engineer fresh out of college.

Many people still seem to think that a 4 year degree is a golden ticket or something. Out of college, the key is to find something related to your carreer path and find ways to increase your knowledge/abilities. If opportunities for advancement are not present or you aren't able to keep growing, it is time to find a new place of employment. It takes the right organization and focus to be able to get where you would like to be.
I have tried to explain to my friends that it will be difficult to find the RIGHT job when they complete college. They seem to think that the perfect job will just fall on their lap and they will have more money than they know what to do with. Some also seem to think they will hop into a senior management job even though they can't even explain to me how they would be qualified.
Despite having made some good contacts, I wouldn't want to be looking for a job or just completing college in this economy.
In the graph, I agree with the first economist.
