about Salford what a dump
That last post beings on another point.
Don't get a too specialised subject. All it does is pin you down to an industry. And if that industry is going down the pan just as your graduated your stuffed. Because employers will take the new meat coming out rather than the old which hasn't been practising.
As for Engineers careers
Out of the 110 that graduated my year
40 went into finacial services eg Anderson etc
5 went into teaching
5 went into the Police
15 went post grad
1 pilot for BA.
And the rest went into normal engineering jobs.
Please note thats 100% employment rate
From the last mag I got from the Alumini reckoned only about 8% of graduating Engineers stay in practise and most of them had 2.2 which leads me suspect that these where actually the back of a fag packet types.
As i said before engineering teaches a mind set to problem solving in a logical maths way. Employers from all industrys know that and the track record for engineers proves this.
I seem to remember that there was great amusment when the engineers that went on to sit the chartered accounts exams got a better pass rate than the accountants that graduated from the Buisness School.
