Yeah I feel you man. If you decide to go into the field look into gigs overseas that is where the money is at right now cause the oil market is so low. Now if the market comes back which it will once the economy tanks (oil prices are always high when the economy is bad) you can get plenty of gigs here in the states.
Also look at companies such as sandi national Laboratory they do business with the department of energy. Most their gigs are in new mexico but the pay well even for new grads.
You could work for them then transfer to a government gig with the department of energy. fukk around and have an easy government gig for the rest of your life with a pension or retire in your 40s and do consultant work while collecting your pension check.

I'ma look into that in the am .Good looking man.
If you can ask your brehs the name of some companies overseas , it's big world out thier .
I actually worked at Sandia a couple summers ago. Pretty much all of the people that work there have at least a master's, a lot have PhD's. They're gonna want you to get another degree, but they offer programs that'll pay for them, you just gotta work for them for a few years.
@AldavisAlbundyAllah! You only wanted to do oil? Sandia is mostly nuclear stuff

Honestly I'm open to pretty much anything ( that might be a problem ) besides small lab work. I've also been looking into becoming a patent agent if I don't find something soon.
Are you a cheme as well?
Sandia is lab work tho, not necessarily a small lab, but its mostly experimenting. It doesn't operate as much a for-profit company like a lot of other big engineering ones.

I wouldn't trust what people on the internet tell you.
Make your own decisions, and talk to people in the field in person/on the phone.

Cool man you worked out there. Couple dudes I worked with also went out there. Yeah a great deal of folks at sandi do have masters and PHDs. But having one degree won't stop him from getting a job out there. The folks I knew out there also had one degree.
Another bonus is that Sandi is in New Mexico so you have little to no black folks. Your resume damn near goes to the top of the list because they are a government contractor.
Back in 2014 at NSBE lockheed was taking all their resumes from the conference and funneling them to Sandia (lockheed owns Sandia). Kats fresh out of school were getting calls left and right from Sandia because of this.
Hell a few years ago I had a Sandia recruiter worry me for like 4 interviews. Ended up doing one just for the hell of it. Messed around got the job and they were gonna give me everything I wanted and more. But just couldn't come to grips to moving the wife and kids to damn albuquerque (population probably 3% black or less).
Don't think being open is the problem that actually is good because you have to be flexible if the field you work in suddenly has the job market dry up.
Honestly if you just want to get in the door as an engineer and don't care (willing to relocate). You can try the government gigs at USAJobs. The government jobs don't start up as high as the commercial jobs but they try to fast track you in salary with promotions. Plus you get pension so you could work till in your 40s or 50s and retire. Then work as a consultant or go into corporate work.
You can also look at gigs with the many DoD contractors as long as you are open to relocate.
But last try to attend the NSBE conference in March. It is in Kansas City. You have a great opportunity to get some hits if you attend the Career Fair that they have on Thursday and Friday.

Those kats work for Saudi Aramco which is the largest oil company in the world.

I will check with them to see if they know of any other companies overseas.
I feel like hit the cieling as an analyst in ERP Supply Chain implementation (will be making about $115 k in 2017...but thats with OT)
My undergrad is in business admin. The systems engineering masters degree looks interesting. Would it be better to get an MBA?
I'm trying to reach and exceed the $200k annual benchmark

From what I've heard bio medical has the worst job prospects of any engineering discipline
