Aerospace has been dying for 30 years, and many senior aerospace engineers I know (including my wife) stuck around because they love it in spite of the dwindling opportunities. Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX's president, was leaving aerospace for real estate when Musk asked her to join SpaceX early on. If nothing else, I hope SpaceX's (and Blue Origin's among many other's) engineering breakthroughs really translate to better economics to get to space, which sets the table for new kinds of businesses and scientific breakthroughs.
