no one should go into engineering. it's a dead end in the US.

It's sad but true. I saw the writing on the wall when I graduated from
Purdue in 1993 with a BSME. So I decided to go into dentistry instead.

It all depends on where you are heading with your degree.

A ball bearing engineer is probably a dead end job.

A guy designing containment vessels for plasma energy generation systems has
a very bright future.

actually i find that the faster growing, future oriented technologies
are in the most danger.

as foreign countries develop they target these industries, just like
they did the semiconductor industry. they have a short learning curve
and they're aggressive.

i'm not sure what to tell a young engineer...become a lawyer?
