Maybe this is a US problem… I graduated (Master Degree) at the 1st university of my country (Italy) for engineering 10 years ago. By graduation day I was already employed… and had the luxury of choosing the offer that inspired me the most (had more than 10 offers… basically every company I interview with made an offer). After graduation my phone kept ringing at least twice a day with companies reaching out to try to schedule an interview for months! And the best part that my education was extremely cheap! Annual university fee was less than 2k euros!

Could you say that for all engineering graduates at the majority of universities (even the bottom 50%)? I know plenty of people who had internships and were effectively employed a year before graduating, but I can't say the majority of people are in that position.

If education is just 2k euros rather than the 15k (public) or 60k (private) in the US, I agree it's much less of an issue for sure because much less is at stake.

It’s 2k only if your family is on the top wealth bracket. For most people is way less and if you are in the lower. Rackets you even get money to attend. Can’t say it was that easy to find employment for everyone graduating in any university… for sure it was for all my class mates (we graduated in computer engineering). I know it was almost equally easy for other majors graduates…
