Is the job market for engineers that bad? There's quite a few guys saying here that they can't find a job. Out here in Phoenix I had 3 different offers 5 months before I graduated. Maybe the market is worse in other areas?
err we can't find EEs to hire, demand is pretty damn high right now so not sure about a bad job market.

I've been wanting to take Aerospace Engineering as my Major in college. Whats the job market like for it?
Most aerospace engineers are OLD. The average age in my turbine engines design group is 50+. They all hired on in the 60's and 70's when the cold war was going on, and the post cold war economy didn't need many more so they didn't hire many. Now this wave of people is approaching retirement and they don't have anybody to replace them. In the next 5-10 years you could move up pretty quickly.

Civil just graduated June 08.
Now an unemployed apprentice. Better get some internships/co-ops or you're as effed as me.
Go west young man.
The civil engineering firms I deal with (BC & Alberta) have been crying for people for the last few years.

However, these days I am the co-owner of a consumer products testing and consulting company, meaning I do more chemistry/accounting/finance/IT/management/etc. than any sort of "engineering".
