The fact is, most companies favor female engineers because it balances gender within the company. She must just be bad at her job or isn't willing to take entry level positions. Most people I've met that were "overqualified" really just have a degree which doesn't necessarily qualify you for anything. Until knowledge is applied to a real world situation it isn't very valuable.

This line jumped off the page:
"Graduates in arts and humanities were more likely to be under-using their education."
The headline should read:
'leave university with a shite degree, expect a shite job'.
A niece of mine has a degree in 'Sports Science' from Middlesbrough university. No, I don't know and I don't think she does either.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
