Subject: [OT] Why there are so few New Grads who want to do
Author: Eric Miller

Dear all,
Well, things seem to be stable, but there has not been enough traffic to really work things out.
Discussing couples and beam elements doesn't seem to have an effect, so I thought I'd through something out there to get a good discussion going. We can all agree to beat this horse to death until tommorow evening.
KEEP THINGS PROFESIONAL AND NO ATTACKS. Don't make me feel quilty for bringing this up.
Many of our customers are complainging that they can not find enough quality new graduates who want to focus on simulation for their career, especially at the graduat level and especially when you require US Citizens.
Questions to the group:
1: Do you see the same thing in your industry/country?
2: If so, why do you think?
My oppinion for the US: (warning: old man "not like it used to be" rant comming)
There just is not the attraction or glory of being an engineer. After WWII it was a way for anyone who was smart to move up the economic structure. Now, smart students don't want to become engineers, they want to go into finance and/or business.
Or maybe I'm generalizing.
Eric
