You're an engineer? Your days and mine are counted, good luck driving those trucks. Driving trucks is honest work, but to be quite honest, with the training you have is a total waste of resources.

In addition, truck driving is not going to help America sustain it's economic and political dominance over the world

Hey, we all can work selling cars or washing windows, the question is, do we want highly educated people doing these jobs? I'm all for hard work, but there's just something totally stupid about what you just suggested.

In the meantime, let me whine and act with my votes, while you just wait for your job to go away. I'm not going to sit around here and take up the ass, because the president takes my vote for granted. He's going to have to earn it, and I don't see that happening again. I want my country to continue to be at the top, and our people to continue to innovate the technologies that make this a better world, not picking tomatoes in the field. Which BTW, thanks to the guest worker program is not an option to 99% of the people here.

that's just it, the college education system is eventually going to collapse. what kinds of jobs are we creating: bellhops, retail, the people who mark your receipt with a magic marker when you leave home depot, UPS and FedEx delivery people, waiters, cooks, people at the desk in a hotel, auto mechanics, home health care aides, etc. How many of these need a college education? What exactly will people be going to college for? Can everyone be a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor, etc. why go into massive debt going to college?

I'm an engineer by training, and that's what I do for a living -- but I've always gone out of my way to see to it that I maintain an interest in a wide array of areas in which I could work if my job ever disappeared.

An engineer may seem "overtrained" to be a truck driver, but perhaps not for an accountant, a logistics expert, a real estate consultant, a banker, etc.
