"When I graduated from engineering grad school in 1981, my highest offer was $27K and that was a sector (oil biz) which was pretty high-flying at the time."
Hey, I remember that! My mother was retired from the bank she worked at for 40 years when the oil biz blew up in the late '80s.

This was in about 1984. But I was also in the offshore drilling business which was especially sensitive to oil prices given that offshore drilling was relatively expensive.
