Mike brings up a good point, but further more more and more engineers are going for their masters because the industries almost require it. most schools i have visited for engineering have stressed the importance of taking advantage of their 5-year masters program because of the numbers already going into it, as well as the better jobs/better money. some engineers also can become engineering teachers, and i can say for myself, I would not be here if not for my engineering teachers.

that number does seem a bit low though, regardless of where people go and what people do post-undergrad...
