Speaking of civil engineers though(about the same caliber degree that your mining engineer degree is), I do know one that got a job at one power company driving a dozer, pushing coal around, for about 15 bucks an hour.

:thatsfunn I don't think that you know what an engineer is, RV. I can guarantee that no licensed professional engineer is operating heavy equipment for $15/hr. If things are that bad in eastern Kentucky, it just shows to what extent Obama has already destroyed our economy. It would not surprise me that a recent graduate with an engineering degree has been forced to take any job that he can find. This economy is brutal on recent college graduates, regardless of what their major is, thanks to Obamanomics.
