I find it funny that we leave it to the economist to decide the fate of research.

I remember in uni I found EE topics much harder and boring then Software topics. Anything below C is a big nope. Verilog, VLSI, FPGA, anything to do with embedded IoT.

Yeah america wont survive if kids today stop valuing EE topic just due to some misguided economical models/interpretation.

The rockets that will land on mars wont be designed solely by software guys - it will require a lot of EE innovations - if america gives up then some other country will take its place.

Reminds of the movie Interstellar.
