I can’t really imagine that affecting people in traditional engineering fields all that much. My dad is a non-managing civil engineer (well, he is the boss of the one person water supply department – that consists only of himself – in the engineering firm he works for) and I feel like he has never been more in demand than now, in his late fifties. Without ever doing anything he gets at least two calls a year from people looking to hire him away. (Though I guess the last thing he would want now is be flexible and move somewhere else or commute for hours. So in that sense he doesn’t have that many options should it ever not work out anymore with his current job – that he took right after college, by the way.)
