none of my engineer collegaues at work are sending their own children into the field. none. you can find dozens of articles on what is happening to enrollment, its no secret. and if you pulled foreign nationals out of the US programs, the numbers would be much worse.

You ignore the specific statistics I give you and instead you cite some vague antedote about engineer collegues who don't "send" their children into the same field of work.

Most kids don't work in the same field of work as their parents, most parents don't "send" their children into any particular field and most Engineers being hired today don't have parents who are engineers. Your antedote can be easily shot down. Meanwhile you ignore the specific statistics that I documented for you in post #438.

BTW, the small sector of a large company that I work for has hired 800 engineers over the last 2 years.
