Seniors looking for work find the door has been barred.
And the word gets to seniors in high school that if You select engineering you'll pay some high dues. Now these kids are no dummies, they soon get the drift And to business and law school they roll in a wave. And the deans struggle vainly their budgets to save. Blue ribbon commissions Spend years and big bucks in a terrible fright, And proclaim that the old engineering profession Is sick unto dying, with no hope in sight. The call soon goes out, all the freezes are lifted, Red carpets are hauled out and vacuumed with care, But recruiters soon find to their shock and surprise That the students they're trying to get aren't there.
