To Chrissy... From a recent Tech Grad


First of all, congratulations to all on getting out - I hope the majority of you have jobs lined up or are pursuing grad school this fall.
Now, I just wanted to know how many other gatech redditors besides myself who are still unemployed in their respective major field after 1 or more years post tech. Have you given up and decided to pursue other career fields or are you still determined to continue and muscle through?
A bit of my background: I graduated in Spring 2012 (BSAE) with a 2.6+ GPA, no internships or coops (as no company would give me a chance during my 5 years), with 1 year of part time work in our design lab. I knew full well the day I graduated that I was at a severe disadvantage despite the Gatech name on my degree, yet I still wanted to find work in the AE industry. I took the FE exam the following OCT, passed and received EIT status by JAN2013, and yet as of now, I have only landed 2 in-person interviews (ME-industry related) and 2 phone interviews (AE related), both of which fell through due to my lack of experience and low GPA. I've only listed my GPA a handful of times in over 300+ applications. I haven't received a call back from anyone since February, and I've just given up and relegated myself back to taking classes as a post-bacc student here in my local Uni, hopefully starting this summer, with the intention of raising my GPA and gaining acceptance into a M.Engr. program down the road.
Idk, but I hoped that having an AE degree from Gatech would at least give me a few more opportunities at interviews, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Honestly, had I known that along with a multitude of other things, I would have stayed home and attended a local uni for much cheaper than paying out-of-state tuition for 5 years at Gatech when I have nothing to show for it. Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed.
Anyone here can relate? Or is my luck just that shitty lol.
