I have been watching the 7 and a half hour hearings about the Coast
Guard 110-123 conversion debacle (originally 4/18/07) that C-Span was
running last night. I have it on tape now.

deeply disappointing. things really spun out of control and the
mission of the CG is now compromised...

In a recent NY Times editorial, some guy said he'd attended the graduation
ceremonies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and many of those who'd
earned their phd degrees were clearly foreigners, mostly Asian. He suggested
it might be a good idea if someone from INS was at these ceremonies to offer
green cards, before these people take their talents to their home countries.

Considering the number of engineering errors in this CG debacle.....

yes..i'm an engineer and it's my belief engineering in the US is not a
future oriented career. young engineers will find themselves more and
more in dying industries, forced out of jobs and seeking fewer jobs
over the next 20 years.

no one should go into engineering. it's a dead end in the US.

It's sad but true. I saw the writing on the wall when I graduated from
Purdue in 1993 with a BSME. So I decided to go into dentistry instead.

It all depends on where you are heading with your degree.

A ball bearing engineer is probably a dead end job.

A guy designing containment vessels for plasma energy generation systems has
a very bright future.

Only if his last name is Patel and he lives in New Delhi.

actually i find that the faster growing, future oriented technologies
are in the most danger.

as foreign countries develop they target these industries, just like
they did the semiconductor industry. they have a short learning curve
and they're aggressive.

i'm not sure what to tell a young engineer...become a lawyer?
