Engineers require high specialized and licensed
degrees, account for 222,000 high-paying
professional growth jobs, and will likely be in
shortage for their own field. They will likely
not compete outside their field for professional
jobs, and other fields can not compete with them
by law.) Surplus biologists not absorbed by
building shortages in heath and other bio-related
fields will be strong candidates for math-,
computer-, and physical-science-based jobs not
already filled by people holding math, computer,
and physical science degrees.
