<p>as an engineering consulting employer, I’ll take some difference with Corbett regarding hirability…broad generalizations for my consulting field at least: LAC engineers make great consultants because they can talk and write well; they also have an edge in management…university types make good design engineers. While all engineers are “dear” in the current market, there are fewer LAC engineers & I have a bias for hiring them when I can find them. As Corbett noted, LAC engineers can end up in law or B-school…we like them for the same leadership reasons. We need both. Just my 2 cents.</p>
