I think this is very common in many "western world" countries, not just the US. And at the moment the software field seems a lot more financially rewarding to smart, practical young people trying to figure out what field they should go into.

> I think this is very common in many "western world" countries, not just the US. I'd say it's the same process even in China these days. There was a big stir online few years ago where it came to light that Shenzhen polytech grads have significantly larger salaries, and employment than much more prestigious university graduates. On other side, I see more, and more Chinese companies becoming carbon copies of American corporates with engineering offices stuffed full of MBA's, and needing 10 SWOT analyses to fix a single line of code bug.
