I'm an engineer, but I may not be the best representative.
My Dad's attitude was that I pretty much had no choice but to be an 
engineer.
Last news I saw was that it is still a pretty good guarantee that you 
will get a
job after college with an engineering degree, but all bets are off after 
that.
Job security is not what it was when I graduated in 1981.   In fact, it has
been going downhill ever since then.
