It's not about the destination, it's the journey


I hail from the land of horned toads, harsh land, cowboy hats, and hurried wildcatters: West Texas (USA). If you have seen the movies No Country for Old Men or There Will Be Blood, well, that’s it. I am 24 years old and I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin (hook’em!) in May 2007 with dual degrees in Economics and Mechanical Engineering, during which time I completed internships in investment banking (JPMorgan) and government policy (Center for American Progress). After graduating I worked as a nuclear engineer (Iberdrola) in Madrid for almost a year, where I found out about the program from the wonderful people who work in the IMIM office. My main interest is in energy development, which stems from an accumulation of my past internship and work experiences, and the IMIM program offers a unique learning experience that I feel will provide me with the skills required to succeed in my chosen field of interest, and wherever it might lead me.

Hi I'm shruti .. I just had few queries to put across.. regarding the career prospectus after graduation from IMIM..
How likely is an individual get into a job once he/she graduates? Undoubtedly the culture at Erasmus Mundus is magnificent. But it would be helpful if this could be answered by the alumni.
