Question
What do you do on a day to day basis, what was your pay straight out of college, what are the chances of getting hired right out of college, how many hours a week do you usually work

Answer
I am 80 years old. Day to day I work engineering new products for remote clients. I spend about 5 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I graduated in 1954. My salary was $5400 annually then. This was pretty good for the times. When I "retired" in 1992 my salary was $60,000 plus bonuses. Also pretty good.

I have no idea what the chances of getting hired today are.

Good luck!
