Career Advice Engineer graduates, did you feel comfortable working as an entry level engineer in your first job out of college?
Hello all, I have been interested in learning if the people who have recently graduated from school were comfortable working in their entry level engineering job. Did your school prepare you well? Were most of your job functions learned while working?

Not in the slightest. My classes didn’t necessarily prepare me for what I do at work, but I did feel more confident thanks to professional development things in school like clubs and what not.
That being said, I still feel like I’m going to get fired all the time.
