The graduate market is oversaturated. Even for Engineering

My only problem with stats like this is that engineering isn't a legally protected term in the UK as it is in other countries.

a) Doubt it. No one completes a masters in engineering, then gets charted despite being good for nothing

b) You literally cannot get charted with just a degree and no experience. So this has to be a lie. You often need more 4 years under someone accredited. Not to mention a professional review (and sometimes an interview?)




My only problem with stats like this is that engineering isn't a legally protected term in the UK as it is in other countries. A job could list itself as (insert word here) engineer. Yet taking time to read the job description would tell you otherwise. I swear I've seen jobs listed as mechanical engineers when further investigation showed they literally meant car mechanics. In terms of this data, things like that have 1 advantage and 1 disadvantage for anyone looking at this hopeful of good news.

Advantage: Average engineer wages would appear be higher in reality than they are in that data. All those not really engineering roles would be bringing the reported wage down a bit.

Disadvantage: Employment would most likely be a slightly worse in real life than it shows in this data.

No idea if the people making this accounted for that though.

Civil engineering you have to talk in front of several senior engineers about certain parts of projects which they have queries with I believe. Also track skills which you've gained from experience.

Oh god I'm not looking forward to that one bit. I'd rather just have an exam like I think they do in the US. Hopefully by then I'll know what I'm doing.
