Why youth are craze in IT jobs rather than other engineering jobs?

All the coz u said it...Coz of pay packs they are diverting towards IT jobs

Probably the huge paychecks have their contribution.

But I don't know, in my opinion being an engineer is very hard. The college I went to was a sort of combination between computer software programming and engineering. So I have studied both topics related to engineering and programming and I can tell you that being a very good engineer is hard.

On the other hand given that almost everyone has access to a computer these days it's easier to get acquainted with programming environments at practically any age (I for one started when I was 9), as for becoming an engineer... I don't think you can train at home for that:) It's way harder to get acquainted with the engineering environment to discover whether you are attracted to it or not than is writing two lines on a computer and discovering "Wow, I love programming:) " (yea, I know programming is more than writing two lines as I am a programmer myself but at one point or another we all started with a few lines and discovered the magic:P )
