[quote=Anonymous]I work in big tech and see this a fair amount with software engineers now (much more than 10 years ago). One of the big differences with the generation you describe is that they grew up with engineering being a very lucrative and sought after position. The older groups were into it mainly because they were so passionate about it and some happened into a lot of money. For people who are 15-30, tech has been an area of huge growth, big money, and social prestige for as long as they can remember (harder to get a job at X than get into school at Y). More and more people grind through good CS programs (look at the crazy increases in their sizes) and then enter jobs they can tolerate but don't really like. It looks a lot like what people were doing in the early 2000s with finance. [/quote]
