Let’s emphasize this to kids once again....engineering of any type, science-related degrees, and medical degrees...will be professions that always have open doors. You might have to agree to move a state away or such....but these folks never have problems.
A degree in women’s studies? A degree in gourmet science? A degree in French literature? Well....you’d best hope that Subway has a manager opening somewhere and just take what you can get in times like this.
And NASA has become a “green” agency.
Obama and Holdren have been VERY busy cutting America down to size.
I consider my place in this economy right now to be a unique one. From my engineering background to my natural inquisitive mindset on how things work, how to make them work and how to make them, I can keep myself busy with work of all types. As an independent contractor I pick and choose the work and projects that people need my services to bring to reality. Essentially, I make people ideas become real and am very deft at fixing things.
This is of added value if the economy goes totally off the rails and we become like Greece where a barter system is what they are relegated to. But in reality, is not everybody involved in some sort of barter system anyway?
Not everybody can do calculus and not everybody can be an engineer.
Medical degrees?
Not anymore. Why become a corperate state slave?
