If nothing else, eventually people will leave the field, and fewer new grads will enter the field. Might take 20 years though, who knows.

As a current nerd, I don't know where our future nerds will go instead. I went from maths to a software factory full of mech/chem/electronic engineering grads who realized at around graduation time that there's not a whole lot of engineering happening in the US. With that outlet shrinking, will a-guys start proliferating?
