This topic has much wider implications. It's not just in the engineering field that there are too many chiefs. I think the US is top heavy right now with financial people. From insurance to medical to investment to just plain loans, how many people can just/only handle money? Somebody has to pick up a hammer or farm or push buttons. We're losing those jobs to another society living amoungst us. And worse, we've lost anything that is portable such as manufacturing to foreign countries. Pretty soon there will be no one to manage with that managers' degree.

And I already hear of mangers having to go to foreign countrise to work as a liason between the foreign work forces and the bean counters back home.

The worst part is that it doesn't seem to want to get better.
