>Now is the time a lot of us should be contemplating our next move in life. Not easy given we're about to enter a period of utter economic chaos that makes the industrial revolution look tame.

And what of those still in school or just graduating? They never got a life to move on from. Do they just drown due to the folly of systems set in motion long before they were born?

Don't take my comment as a value judgement on the way things are or will soon be. Yes, I think new grads and younger engineers are screwed. Not my choice, not your fault. It is what it is. Sorry.
