Yes, College is a very big industry for Baby Boomlets or Echo Boom as you call them. I've got 4 children born from 1977 (1st year of the period) to 1983 and are in College or the equivalent. Jobs are readily available here in the States that the young have a lukewarm feeling at first, only to realize later that College education will give them better pay. (In the country I came from where every job is being fought for by the many, the young CRY when their parents can not afford to send them to College). What has been the effect of the Baby Boomlets in our industries so far? First at the age of 13 or when the children realize they can do away with their parents --- they get Pagers, then Cellular Phones; Cars (one white guy was shaking his head in amazement why we Filipinos buy our children's cars. Well, we are giving the children what we did not have when we were young). Rims for the cars, with Boom Boxes, hundreds of CDs --- all Hi-Tech gadgets. Anybody who says we are done with CHIPs for a long time will be proven wrong. Let's see when CHIP inventories are depleted. CHIPs can not be ReCycled. We have to build new ones over and over again.
