1) What school did your friend graduate from? If it is even halfway reputable, he shouldn't have too many problems finding a nice job with a ME degree. Josh is right....he just needs to get a real job.

2) I will say that for more common majors, college gets harder and harder to justify. Education will never make you much money and with the rising costs of college, that really sucks. Business degrees and such may not make you a ton initially, but at least with these you will have opportunity to move up in companies and for upward movement in most companies, a college degree is required.
