What engineering jobs are available in the USA?

Is there any good jobs for civil engineering graduates?

• i am graduating with 4.0 gpa probably next semester in masters degree in civil engineering. how is the chance of getting jobs here in usa after my graduation?

• Answer:

  The US Department of Labor states that Civil Engineers are expected to see average employment growth through 2014. Spurred by general population growth and an increased emphasis on infrastructure security, more civil engineers will be needed to design and construct safe and higher capacity transportation, water supply, and pollution control systems, as well as large buildings and building complexes. They also will be needed to repair or replace existing roads, bridges, and other public structures. Because construction and related industries—including those providing design services—employ many civil engineers, employment opportunities will vary by geographic area and may decrease during economic slowdowns, when construction often is curtailed. Engineers with bachelor's degrees make at least $43,000 right out of college in the US. Here's what the US Department of Labor estimates are for starting wages for Civil Engineers: BS: $43,679 Masters: $48,050 Ph.D: $59,625 Engineering degrees are the best ones to get in this economy, other than a degree in a medical profession. Good luck!
