Good luck on your job search.
I suspect that there are jobs out there but they don’t pay what he/she is used to making and probably won’t for a very long time.
I never understood why IT people, many with no degree, made substantially more than mechanical/electrical engineers, chemists, etc. many with advanced degrees. Maybe we’re finally seeing “reversion to the mean” for salaries in IT.

Actually, you’re opportunities for finding an sofware engineer job are looking better than those of finding MechE and EE jobs out here right now.
And the reason why is simple. Software engineering has much more broader demand in varying industries than pure EE/MechE. You can work in biotech,tech,info tech,and small mom and pop shops. Plus it is entirely possible to telecommute because you don’t need to be onsite next to some hardware.I wouldn’t get to arrogant at the prospects of “IT” work coming down but MechE and EE not. Folks that previously were EE and cut over to software know exactly what I’m talking about. It sometimes is to your advantage to wear both hats.
Pure hardware engineering demand is going to go even more soft when people aren’t buying electronics in this economy.

I know several brilliant people in IT who have no degree, it’s not that uncommon. In IT, you have to produce, and a degree (even in Computer Science) will not really make a difference one way or another.
You need a specific set of skills in the IT field you’re in, and companies need someone with that specific set of skills and most could give a wit about whether they have a degree or not.
I think that the field itself is just getting hit.March 5, 2009 at 2:22 PM #361092DoofratParticipant[quote=JEEscondido]Good luck on your job search.
