Raise the salary and Americans will be lined up around the block for those jobs. We have good engineering programs here in the US, but kids don’t choose engineering as much as they used to because the pay is viewed as being not that great, layoffs are very likely, and yes, it is very difficult.
Fascinating comment.. I am one such engineer, salary $100K/yr +, not including company copay/contrib into 401K.. I think you have the facts warped. During college classes, 56hour straights were not uncommon. Not everyone wanted to do those. In general, those who study hard work hard are painted as idiots, losers, geeks and nerds. The Kiyosakis, Trumps, Casey Serins of the world supposedly have the way to make money. Little work and concentration with the right spin would make a lot of money for you…
Compare how education to get ahead is viewed in countries like India, Thailand, Japan, China.. and compare against the views in America. “American Idol just because you can sing and dance..” makes me sick.
