Has anybody heard or have read stats on the number of engineering graduates per year, and trends?
I was talking with my friends kid the other day about the engineering profession (20 years for me). I know that the job market is highly dependant on location. However, in my discussions with him, it seemed like fewer students are entering engineering schools after the computer dot.com bubble blew up. Does it seem like most college students want to make easy money the easy way versus working as engineers?
If this is the case, I would expect a critical shortage of engineers in the next 5 to 10 years.
