Now before you beat yourself up, think about this. You might be able to get a job in something totally unrelated (WalMart cashier, truck driver, waiter, etc), but when the economy finally turns around, engineering companies would rather hire new grads than hire old ones who've not done anything related to their field for a couple of years. I know I'll probably be jumped on for telling the truth, but yes, you're probably screwed, and you will almost certainly not get a job related to civil engineering. So what do I do? Am I screwed? Will I never get a job? So what do I do? Am I screwed? Will I never get a job? Am I going to be homeless? Please, someone give me some direction on what to do next. I went to the college's career services, they looked over my resume and said it was fine.

I might be having a research 'job' with a grad student over the summer but I don't think that's a good substitute for an internship. Because I was so confused about my major, I spent my summers taking summer classes instead of looking for internships. Last summer I even dabbled in political science because I thought of leaving engineering all together. In sophomore year I was EE, in freshman year I was ChemE second semester, and BioE first semester. This past year (junior year) was my first year as a civil major. I think it was my lack of intern experience and depth into the program (I changed my major 3 times). I applied to several internships this past spring but didn't get anything. So I'm a rising senior CivE major at the University of Maryland.
