I visit plants everyday with lots of engineers working hard at all sorts of tasks to get the work done.
The american IT engineers might be in trouble, but they are like railroad designers...... their day might be over.progress
There always will be work for engineers.
Care to chime in on this one?
IT, EE, ME - its all up for grabs now. safer bets are civil engineering, because they have to be located with the projects (for the most part), and anything related to the defense department.
