Eh, anyone prepping their kids for scholarships for college is more than likely going to be disappointed. There are very few of those to go around.

The exception is at large state schools, but even then, only a limited percentage of kids are going to receive them, and it takes more than just an above average student to receive them.

Perhaps we'll see more kids entering needed and professional-geared fields like engineering as college becomes more of an investment..

Don't bet on it. The outsourcing and H1B visa insourcing of engineering jobs is further decreasing an already low engineering enrollment in this country.

Engineering is one of the toughest curriculums there is.

Few people want to work that hard to have their careers truncated at age 40.
