Sure. Everyone should do it. Except everyone can't. Moronic point
dip****.

There once were a lot of opportunities for people who could hunt sabre
tooth tigers with a spear. Should they have been guaranteed a job for
life, retrained as basket weavers or just given welfare checks?

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

Exactly, a lot of people learned how to use a slide rule! When my oldest
brother was in college, he was there at just the right time so that he
first had a slide rule, then a T.I. calculator that could add, subtract,
multiply, divide and GASP! do square roots!

The problem is that kind of technology hits your typical "college
graduate" job the hardest.
If there wasn't a very strong engineer's union, most of those jobs
would be replaced by a $100 CAD program. You are really just paying
for the "stamp" anyway.

Horse****. What "engineer's union" are you talking about? What "$100 CAD
program" can analyze and economize a structure? How does this $100 CAD
program analyze case by case seismic design? How does it analyze
concrete floor loading and design? How does it analyze dynamic loads
from equipment and or rack storage? How does it analyze site specific
soil properties? In short, please show me this program, I'd love to have
it, I'll be a millionaire in a week!!

I think he is talking about EE's and circuit board design.
