juice, you are right. I work in the defense industry and we can’t outsource because of the clearances you mentioned. Yes, Lou Dobbs did my profession a huge injustice when he scared everyone into believing that all these jobs were being outsourced. My company has an average age of 49. Almost 35% of my engineering staff will retire within 5 years. Where will I get the engineers to replace them?
I went to an Engineering Quality meeting a few months ago and ran into one of my old professors. He was asking me advice on how he can convince more students into the field, he is seeing his classes shrink each year. It’s disappointing that we have such great opportunities in science fields but students would rather get easier degrees.
