As an engineer in the aerospace industry, I'd have to disagree. The rate of engineers retiring far exceeds new graduates from college. Many companies are having trouble just replacing those that leave. It's a critical problem that's just getting worse.

Nothing to do with hours either. Those that I know working 60 hrs/wk are compensated for it. If you want to place blame, look towards the lack of emphasis on math & science and lazy students. Of course, an entry level engineer will start out at double what a business grad makes, so the hard work pays off.
