From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. And from the inside looking out, you can't explain it. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Good luck, looking for a job after graduating was a nightmare for me when I got my engineering degree. It gets easier later though, so don't get discouraged.

Look into public works.

I actually applied to several non-defense government jobs last year, but I haven't heard back yet. Apparently it takes forever (more than private industry) to hire people, but even then I'm not exactly an attractive hire.

I just started my graduate degree so I'm probably not going down that route. I'd be open to a summer internship in public works, but I literally cannot count on them to get back to me in six months.
