So why would you recommend anyone with a brain these days go into electrical engineering?

In "the good old days" of the 1980's, I remember most of us worked at large companies at lower salaries for "reasonable" hours and job security whereas if anyone wanted to get rich, they were to go to startups and work those sorts of hours and have a 20% or less chance of striking it rich.

It will be interesting to see what happens if demand returns for engineers. Many have left to go into teaching, food service, etc. I saw a thing on TV this weekend that said the Culinary Institute in SF has tons paying $33K for 6 months of schooling. If you have to work nights and weekends, I guess many decided they can have the mornings off as a cook and they get to be more creative.
