Re: The Downside of Having More Engineers

At this point, the US is only turning out something like 10,000 engineers a year from college. That is a very small percent of what the demand is given that the baby boomers are all retiring within the next 5 years, if they haven't already done so.

A good comparison is the teaching situation in Los Angeles. It has been projected that the LAUSD will have a need for 20,000 teachers in the next 5 years due to retirements and people quitting.
