I graduated in 2007 with a chem eng degree (no internships).
didn't look for a job right away...had some family businesses i was trying to figure out. Was able to apply some engineering.....on a variety of different levels.....applied for jobs late 2008 and got some snags...but when the economy started to crash.....didn't work out.
So i've been out of school for about 1.5 years...limited engineering experience....i was told after 1 year you are considered "stale".....so i started taking graduate level courses in chem eng...just so i can show my mind is still fresh.
Many chem engs end up getting an MBA down the line. Something i was considering doing. Wasn't sure if it would be better for me to switch and start taking courses towards that now......or keep up with the chem eng courses. Basically..which would a future employee prefer....to see i'm still proficient on the technical side of things....or show i have some advanced knowledge on the management side.
Focus now is on just getting that entry level job.
