Is there really a lack of engineers? (Score 1)

On a side note, is there really a lack of engineers? I went to a pretty good school, and surely did not notice fewer engineers. At the job fair, companies were not on their knees searching around for whatever engineer they could scrounge, there were so many that they could be highly selective. There does not seem to be a shortage of engineers to me, does anyone find basis in that comment? Also, if there are fewer engineers (at least in the computer engineering world), i'd say its because the demand for engineers has leveled off. So many people rushed to become computer engineers because the pay was so high, that the field became saturated. Now salaries have leveled off, and mostly people who are genuinely interested in computer engineering apply.
