The education was good book wise but for seeing and doing job related skills was poor.

I am a 2nd year senior in the Mechanical Engineering program, set to graduate with my BS in May. The ME program is very demanding if you intend to graduate in 4 years, but by adding 2 semesters, the course load is very managable. If you come here seeking a Technical Communication, Biology, or Psychology degree you will get a great education, but expect to be the butt of many jokes and not taken very seriously. This is definitely a math and engineering school, although many other degrees are offered.

Most of the students are friendly, as are the faculty and staff (except for the Registrar's office staff). Socorro is not a very exciting place, and the locals are not very friendly to the students, but the student groups and clubs do a good job of providing lots of activities to avert ennui. You may find, too, that you have so much homework and lab work to do that you don't have much time to get bored anyway. The classes are hard, and about one third of each freshman class drops out or transfers, but if you stick with it, the classes get easier. If you know you work well in an intimate environment, with small class sizes and professors who know your name, then this is a terrific university. If you are not serious about your education or don't know exactly what you want to do after high school, save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.

Pice a good degree program. Getting a degree in General Studies should be your last option. This particular degree does not help people get a high paying position because it is far to broad a category.

College has definitely helped. Where you go to college helps in getting your first job; after that, it doesn't matter. Advanced degrees help in advancement, especially if you work for a large company.

Knowing the right people definitely helps. Networking is very important.
