Man, I cannot believe some of the gloom and doomers here...

The market has never been better, in my lifetime, for engineering talent in the this country, especially in the auto industry. Not sure what industry you are in, but if want something in auto it could not be better. Period. From OEMs to suppliers, there is a REAL SHORTAGE of engineers, and it's not getting better any time soon. Start reaching out to recruiters, suppliers, OEMs, etc. and look at their web sites. Nearly ALL are actively recruiting, at all different levels. If you have a little flexibility regarding location, you can score VERY QUICKLY. This is a great opportunity for you.
