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.
Did your children go to collage? Most of students might not admit this to you, but many listen to the advice of parents in that matter. In most cases I know it was so.
the salary numbers mean nothing. the NBA pays alot more then that, that doesn't mean there are alot of new job openings for people in the NBA, but for those that are, the salary numbers are great.
the stats on what is happening to enrollment are undeniable - parents are piling their kids into law schools.
