I guess I'm confused as to what you thought I said wrong or "dinging" the state... I think NH is a great place to live.

I said "not much engineering except for down south or in Mass".

How many total engineering jobs do you think are in the state?

Can confirm that, as a mechanical engineering student currently in the process of finding a summer internship, there’s not many engineering jobs in the state. Even less with internship spots. Best luck I’ve had so far is places an hour or more away.

Yes, you’re right, the great engineering jobs are around Boston for this area. My son’s best friend graduated UMass in computer engineering & started a hybrid job as an engineer when he graduated . He lives in Quincey, MA & 2 years later makes 6 figures and employer pays half his rent plus has great perks. NH has more limited opportunities for professional work overall at competitive salaries. I grew up in southern NH & even my dad commuted to CT for his job (landscape architect).
