This was inspired by someone's post which stated that a lot of people here are in college or in the workforce. So I'm curious.
Here's my story:
I got fooled into getting a BS in biomedical engineering (December 2011), believing there would be at least a healthy amount of opportunities. I did an internship that didn't amount to a full time job, and here I am almost 12 months later still applying to the big names in industry, the government, and to every startup company I can find.
I'm thinking of either preparing for med school, teaching English in South Korea, or selling my soul to the USPTO. In fact, I actually had an interview with the PTO today, and based on the interviewer's remarks, I just might end up with an entry level offer. The thing is, my friends have warned me that if I accept the position, I'll likely never work as an actual engineer again. The thought scares me, but at this point I think I'm willing to take anything I can get.
Also, there was an interesting article in the New York Times that I think many of you might appreciate:

I've been part of a place that got sold to a different party. Just be careful on who or what you hand the reigns to. Mmmmkay?
