I would think
the last thing a parent wants their kids to do these days is be a commodity
coder, engineer, or electronics repairman because of the low pay and
offshoring. We are turning into a nation of MBAs, burger flippers,
salespeople, and paper shufflers.
Yes, but wait until those MBAs and sales guys realise they actually need
products to sell. Who's going to design their products if there are no
engineers left?
You don't need an engineer to design the current crop of products - you just
need someone who can push a mouse around on a screen, without any real
understanding of how the bits they're bolting together actually work :-(
The sad truth is, the consumer has no idea how shit the final product is
because they've never actually known any different :(
