I am a physicist retrained as an engineer so I'm as big on thinking and ideas and innovating as anybody, but it seems to me you can think all you want but eventually someone has to build something or make something if there is going to be any kind of broad-based economic growth.

We'll need to employ people with a wide range of capabilities and backgrounds to have sustainable economic growth. Ideas alone won't cut it.
