We need to limit the number of lawyers our schools put out and award grants, subsidies, etc., based on the number or engineers and scientists a school graduates.

OK, let me see if I have this straight...

all of the sudden we are worried that there are not enough Americans enrolling in the Computer Science and Engineering fields of study in college...

Perhaps if there was an incentive to enter these fields,like the possibility of actually obtaining a job after college, then maybe we wouldn't be facing this so called labor shortage.

Perhaps the chicken and egg are reversed in your argument.

I'm in my mid 30's, about a year ago my lovely,educated and well paid wife and I decided that after years of me taking night classes we could afford to send me to school full time. We paid all of our debt, sold our house (six figure profit :) ) and moved into an apartment. I will start a BSEE/MSCE program this summer as a junior. I will graduate with honors, and I will get a great job when I graduate. How do I know these things? Easy, I know myself.

I refuse to believe the situation for engineers in this country is as bad as some of you make it out to be.

Any RF/microwave EE's have any career advice, besides "don't"? Will 5+ years experiance as an engineering technician count when I get my degree, if you were doing the hiring?
