Why Choose Engineering?
Forbes Magazine reports in June 2009 that for the second year in a row, engineer is the hardest job to fill in America.
Why are engineers so hard to find?
"We have whole generations of people loving liberal arts, not going into science and math," says Larry Jacobson, executive director of the National Society of Professional Engineers. According to Jonas Prising, Manpower's president for the Americas, "Employers don't want to hire two or three engineers with a variety of specialties, they want one engineer who is trained in several areas. Another reason is that there are far too few new college graduates in engineering to replace retiring engineers. Also, the Obama administration's pledge to rebuild America's infrastructure is increasing the need for talented engineers."
