I believe we need to see changes in the market before you'll see folks get back into the sciences and mathematics. I have a degree in Civil Engineering, and one reason I am not currently in the field is low pay. Even after climbing the ladder, the pay would not grow significatnly, despite having far greater responsibility and longer hours.

When engineers are in demand, I would hope to see wages raised. Of course, the other option is having wages for lesser jobs ( I will lump bidness, management, etc in this class) decrease. It disturbs me to see some jackoff make 6 figure incomes because he's at good pimping mortgages. Of course, money isn't everything. I knew Civil Engineering was the bottom rung in engineering (regarding pay, difficulty, and sophistication).
