In Reply To: I have an MBA, and a MSc in engineering. I apply to entry, mid, an executive level positions, but companies don't even call me. Companies claim to be looking for top-notch qualifications but guys with just a BSc are the ones getting the jobs. WHY ? This job market doesn't make sense. The message they send is " don't go to the university, it is not worthy". Anybody going through a similar situation ??? What's wrong with corporate America. They rather hire a guy with a BSc instead of one with an MBA and for the same salary. WHY ???
Message: Welcome to the "booming US economy"! There are LOTS of people - especially with science/engineering degrees who get no calls. You are not uncommon but the norm. Read TOm Friedman on how China and INDia can outsource all US jobs.... I'd try to get ANY job - Walmart etc...You are looking WAY to high for a job! FOrget the gov't too - unless politcally conntected... I have engineering and law degree and still can;t get a crappy Mc Job.... So learn Chinese soon! Good Luck!
