I agree. We have been trying to find and hire engineers for commercial building design, and college enrollment in engineering drops every single year. And once out in the workplace, many of the younger hires think they are ready to "run the show" rather than to learn what they are doing. Its been a very frustrating situation for us for the past 8 years.
On the other hand, we interview and have hired a few engineers trained in other countries, and they have all been extremely hard workers and always go the xtra mile.
Today's youth (including my own neices and nephews) want to sit back and have everything handed to them. I try every day to teach my kids that that won't be happening in our family.
