maybe NOW is a good time to start learning to think outside the box...while your mind may be reeling, trying to think of mainstream jobs, offered in classifieds and job fairs for mechanical engineers, you may wanna start looking at it from a different perspective...
When i read Green Lantern, i think of mech engineering: whereas your powers and opps are limited solely by your imagination. Green Lanterns' powers allow him to create anything his mind can conjure up, and his mind limits his abilities to use that power to its fullest potential.
So it goes in the mech engineering field; where i guess: these days most grads settle into mundane jobs with the city state or govt, supervising; work in the private sector as physical plant employees for large colleges, plants, firms; work within plants and firms as supervisors in car plants, farm machinery, appliances, stuff of that nature..
but its the mech engineer who works with bicycles and comes up with airplanes; tinkers with gears and belts and comes out with an engine;
New young money is flooding the world these days, and young money wants to buy new things, even if its old things made into something new and different...Car mods, interior design, the latest gadgets, all depend on the electric and mech engineers for their innovations...pimping a car is good money for the self employed, and it takes a little more know-how than cutting off a roof or installing a subwoofer
a degree like that can get you into car design, computer design, telecom design and maintenance; anything and everything these days is being miniaturized, thinned out, made lighter and faster, and its not all electronics, it's also the package and the operation of these things.
but basically it all comes back to your frame of mind and imagination: what do you wanna do with a degree like that...i've worked with guys who have all the tools and equipment, but scarcely a clue as to what to do with them, and i've found them to be a goldmine of resources and innovation with the right person behind them prompting things along.....
its all about : what ever your mind can concieve of, is actually possible with enough knowledge.
this is the star trek generation, where technology is developing in quantum leaps right before our eyes.
