ever since 1997 crisis, every few years you will hear a lot of hype about engineers making a comeback. in the end only small specific types of engineering get paid well because a few mega mncs are hiring and poaching them. most of the rest just continue to languish.

this time round will be no different. heard it so many times in the past 20 years already... in fact as a group statistically speaking trained engineers make the most money by joining civil service / stat board and sometimes they are not even doing anything related to what they study.
