I guarantee you, the reason you were having trouble isn&#x27;t because the grads &quot;don&#x27;t know anything&quot; it&#x27;s because you weren&#x27;t paying enough. From my experience the job market for most flavors of EE is &quot;dead&quot;. I think 25% of my class last year actually went into engineering. The rest went to CS grad school, software dev, consulting, or finance.<p>When you are offering lackluster responsibility, and bottom feeder pay, don&#x27;t be surprised when you can&#x27;t find talent.
