Total Bull****
That's the premise of this thread it is FALSE. Aviation always has been at the vanguard of technology. From airframe to power plant vaiation leads the way. Take a career in aviation technology and you will never be out of work. Sure you may have to relocate. But you will NEVER be without a career. Every energy transfer on this planet requires your skills... from metal/plastic work to power plant..... they all use aviation technology. Could be that you are working in Shanghai with a cute Chinese wife but HEY..heads up!
