"Engineering is about the only true job training left in college."
As an EE, I can tell you that the job market SUCKS.
It's not so much outsourcing as it is the huge number of H-1Bs coming in to the country.
The funny thing is that in many cases companies hire these folks assuming that they know something. Some are excellent, but many are not, but it looks good on paper.
Just saved a bunch of money!

If we stop building infrastructure, new construction, we are down to maintenance jobs and won't need design engineers. Thinking of the power grid. The glamour jobs in microcomputers are already filled. What else is there? Communications and military. Well, maybe the new NASA will generate some business.
