Re: The Downside of Having More Engineers

The subject of the high supply FIRST creates has crossed my mind once before. I am aware that a primary goal of FIRST is to introduce kids/teenagers into engineering, but I sure that at some point the supply will be too high for the demand. I am just a junior in high school, so I am not sure how high the demand is for engineers. With the increasing amount of engineers, significant studies will come quicker than expected, which will really benefit society; that is a plus to having a lot of engineers. Also, think about how big engineering is compared to other studies. Engineering is not a very popular among high-school, so it will be a LONG time before the supply reaches the rate of demand.

That is just my view on the subject.
