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.


Education is typically broad based, so specialization is the boogey
man. Don't specialize.
