what the fuck are these guys talking about?  theres no shortage, anywhere. shortages have very distinct characteristics: wages outpace inflation, companies engage in bidding wars for employees.  the literal opposite is happening in engineering in the us. there are thousands of engineering graduates that have to take jobs as technicians or project managers or some unrelated non technical work because there arent enough jobs for them.  we graduate twice as many engineers today compared to a decade ago. theres no shortage.   ery=mechanical%20engineering&query2 =mechanical%20engineering&resulttyp e=all&page=1&sortby=date_desc&overl aydigesttableid=202520
