Another reason kids aren’t majoring in engineering is because we have outsourced all the jobs. The news for the last 20+ years has been all about how engineering jobs are moving to India and China. Now if you’re a student graduating HS and looking for a career to take you through the next 40+ years, why would you choose one that seems to be dying off? While it’s true that there is still demand here, there isn’t a lot of demand for new grads. Many companies will post an opening asking for someone who has 10 years experience with everything under the sun at a salary of $80K/year. When they can’t find it they have their excuse to go to Wipro or Infosys.
