"there will always be engineers working at the opposite end of the quality spectrum, trying to push the envelope"
I hope so. The problem is most of those engineers like me are getting old. I hope there are young engineers around that care about quality sound

IMO there will always be some. Maybe the group will be small, but there will always be people that care about quality and craft...
Seems damned hard to find young engineers outside of software engineers--could be it just seems that way in Boulder.
seems like lots of interest in audio there.
Might be worth a look?
They are more interested in the wider world. My son wanted to study Acoustics Engineering but I dissuaded him because of the limited career scope. (I knew the UK audio and acoustics industries well, as a sideline to my main professional engineering interests).He is now in Aerospace Engineering and enjoying it.
An additional point is that well qualified professionals are unlikely to be attracted to the whacky things that go on in the industry, like expensively clad resistors being called 'bullets' and dacs that are 'zero jitter lite'.

...than narrower. Much of what he studied has applicability in audio and acoustics, anyway.
Personally, I studied mechanical engineering and journalism in college. Besides audio, I've worked in racing (high-performance/racing engines), and found a lot of similarities between engines, acoustics and speakers. Engine intakes and exhaust systems are tuned for resonant reinforcement just as speaker enclosures are.
You never know what'll be useful, and the more you know, the more interrelationships you'll find in the world.
