I agree to an extent. we still have some great engineers around today. But today there are so many that learn on their own in their own project studio/bedroom, or learn from forums like this.
I learned, like so many in the past, from interning and working under real professional engineers in real professional studios. Hands on apprenticeship has gone away in this industry.
I think alot of the sound of today's music has to do with that above and with experienced analog engineers switching over to DAW/Digital and still using their all analog techniques. Some which have to be altered for DAW/Digital- I was there too.
