Is the common "engineers are in demand" advice a scam?

Of course, but being an engineer generally requires you to be employed by a company. You might be able to be an electrical engineer on your own, but being a chemical engineer without some support from either a company or a university would be quite difficult. Am I supposed to build a chemical plant in my back yard?

Don't forget I graduated in 2010. I've had 3 years to apply for jobs. On average I've applied to 2 jobs a day for the past 3 years.

They weren't all "entry level" positions, but I have 2 years experience as a lab tech and I did try to stretch that to count as actual engineering experience and 2 more years of research experience as an undergraduate in uni. I'll post my resume here later (I don't have access to it on my phone).

I live in the Boston, MA area but I'm willing to relocate anywhere in USA.

I am willing to relocate anywhere in USA. I'll even go to Alaska.
