  Just a reminder that the topic on hand is "Why don't today's students want to be engineers?". To further explore the politics around fracking/etc, please consider starting a new TED Conversation here: http://www.ted.com/conversations/new

  A comment on Conversation: Do we underestimate the importance of the 20-something years? Live Q&A with TED speaker Meg Jay, Wednesday at 3pm Eastern

  May 15 2013: Hi Meg, thank you so much for joining us here!
  
  I'm wondering... what do you think parents can do to help their twentysomethings with these big decisions? What can professors/employers do?
  
  Thanks again!

  Apr 7 2013: If this is about comments being deleted without emails being sent, I'm afraid that's also my doing. It really has been a challenge to keep up with this topic, and there's not much help in the wee hours of a Sunday morning.

  Apr 7 2013: Are you referring to the off-topic and insulting comments I removed a little while ago? No conspiracy there, just me trying to keep up with the challenge of maintaining a respectful debate.

  Sadly, this is not the case, and I am quite certain that John Hoopes has not been deleting anyone's comments on this topic. Or any other on this site.
