America needs less engineers and scientists.

Hmmm, an interesting conclusion.

The shortage is of *good* ones that will work cheaply enough
to convince an army of beancounters to keep work here in the
U.S.


Look through the engineering ads. How often do you see one asking for 20-30
years experience? 99% want entry level or 5-7 years tops.


Honestly don't know, I am lucky enough to have not needed to
look for a job in years. In fact over a decade now, a
personal record


It's the employers that cry about shortages. They don't want to pay and they
don't want to (God forbid!) invest in training or education.


That's true.

If there were less engineers and scientists, there would be less
unemployment.


Also true if there were less people. And we know how to
solve that, don't we!
