Engineering Careers
(OP)
I just found this article on the "5 Big Money Majors" and was amazed to see engineering included as one of them:

Through 2014 the profession is predicted to grow. And from the author's perspective, engineering appears to be a lucrative career choice in comparison to the other choices that undergraduates might otherwise make. I guess that timing is everything. I remember only a few years ago when engineers struggled to even land an interview months after graduating.

Strangely they still seem to need just as many accountants to count the beans even when there are much fewer beans to count.
The problem is that now they will probably overcompensate and there will eventually be more engineers than needed and the cycle will start again.

RE: Engineering Careers
I'm just tired of the boom/bust cycles. I've survived many more layoffs than I've "flunked" but even those have taken an emotional toll.
I believe the "highest paid" bit if you compare to folks besides doctors and pilots. For some reason, even with the unemployment problems, engineering seems to pay pretty dang well from what I've experienced.
As far as being in demand, I just don't see it. There seems to be not much demand for the 45+ crowd except for precious few who have very specialized skill sets. It really depends on the industry, though.
