Correct. Go try to find someone interested in becoming a surveyor, civil engineer, or architect! Growing up, those were considered highly desirable, high status careers. No more.

Surveying became a part time job due to GPS and digital mapping.

Civil engineers and architects are now treated as "on-demand" professionals. The real money was in owning or being a partner in a firm. As that generation retires out, the next tier of junior partners doesn't want to buy them out, so the senior partners sell to a large global corporation.
