Between outsourcing and off-shoring of many engineering functions, stagnant pay, decline of manufacturing in North America, poor opportunities for advancement, rapid obsolescence, hyper-extreme competition and rampant age discrimination, who would want their kids to waste four years on an education they may not use? There are two year diploma programs now that will pay better than what many engineers make. The golden age of engineering is over and has been for several decades. It will never be as good as it once was and Grade 12 students should not be deceived by university administrators and high school guidance counselors who don't know the whole story.
