We’ve been using metal for thousands of years, so what else is there to learn?
Reality: Metallic alloys are being improved upon every year. Especially with modern computation tools at our disposal, new alloys and processing are being developed at the fastest pace in history.

Aren’t there already enough metallurgists?
Reality: Metallurgy programs at U.S. colleges and universities have nearly all disappeared in the past 30 years as a result of an explosion of jobs and funding in other materials science fields. However, we still use metals for a huge proportion of our daily-use products, and the defense industry still uses massive amounts of diverse metals for ships, aircraft, land vehicles, and more. Producers of these goods are now facing a shortage in qualified metallurgists and welders required to meet demand.
