I know many people who have those skills. Most are unemployed. Those

are not advanced math. Those not unemployed are now paralegals or legal

Once again, you demonstrate that those that you know do not make up a
statistically relevant sample. Those skills are in big demand where I
live.


If those I know do not make a statistically significant sample, then why do
the ones you know do?

Do you live in Ohio?

. I had to hire against others seeking the same skill level and

we all had a tough time. Those still in the game continue to have

If you increase the pay, they will come.

You don't see the Federal Gov't subsidizing the growth of lawyers do you?

Why must the growth of engineers and scientists be subsidized?

Wouldn't outstanding pay make more great people go into engineering?

If there is an engineering shortage, then why isn't pay very high?

My daughter, a manufacturing engineer, has been working at her
rpesent position for 3 years. She just now makes about what a
starting RN makes...and has a 4+ year degree vs. the usual
Associates or 3 year diploma program that most RN's complete.

Starting RN's make more than starting engineers. There's a shortage of RN's.
Where is the shortage of engineers?

Well, it sure isn;t in Michigan. They've laid off just about as
many as they could and shipped the rest to Mexico.
