I was talking to my boss the other day about finding people to hire, as RF engineers. We agreed that it is (has been) hard to find people so I asked him why he thought that was. He tells me that most kids out of college want to be in marketing or sales. It was then that I realized that it isn't very appealing to work as a manufacturing engineer in a factory setting wearing static straps and a smock with expectations centering upon "hands on" skills including soldering and your day-to-day concerns having to do with part numbering systems of a given company. Why would anyone go through all that math to do that type of work? Yeah, I'm sure some kids getting out of college see this and simply turn the other way.
The art of RF and microwave engineering has become obsolete, like a dead (computer) language.
