True, but it still doesn’t hurt to try…I’ve been prospects are fair for Engineers (extremely good for Software Engineers and Environmental Engineers). Actually, depending on what I do (analyze, design, management) I wouldn’t need capital as much as the folks in testing. That being said, if the government would stay the fuck out of science funding, crowding out private funding and abolish regulation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_PVI6V6o-4 explains the myth of science as a public good), I’m sure me and LadyAttis would have a much easier time finding work in our fields.
It would help if the government would just stay out and let the goddamn recession run its course…
