I'm going to be a first-time college freshman in Engineering and I heard that it's difficult getting Engineering internships. Is it difficult? And if you graduate with a B.S. in Engineering with a decent GPA but little/no experience is it difficult to get a job?

Not too difficult depending on which field of engineering you are in.
As far a salary well again that depends on who you end up going to work for.
But if you are going into the Electrical engineering field and go to work in a plant don't be surprised of put down when you find out the the plant's maintenance electricians are making more than you.
Reason for that is you are going to have to learn it and they already know it. In fact in the core courses a lot of them have most likely used the same text books you used in College in their apprenticeship schools. Just didn't go as deep into math as you did, nor did they have to take a lot of other courses like Psychics, Chemistry, History, English etc.

Your degree gives you the basics what you do with it from there depends on you.

The worst thing you can do is get to acting like you know it all when you get on the job with your brand spanking new degree. You'll be just a babe in the woods knowledge wise. You look listen and learn and ask questions.! A lot of questions.!

you purely shop making use of to as many firms as you could till you get fortunate and discover one that is keen to hire you as a clean graduate without journey. Grades at the instant are not all that significant as long as you have a sturdy attitude and could artwork properly on a project with others (different individuals, it extremely is). The hiring organization will practice you to do the interest they choose executed. a number of them are so sturdy at coaching new graduates that the grads do no longer even understand they are being experienced.
