No, widgets are made in China or Mexico, where it often requires MORE, but cheaper people.

That's just great Willie, turn our economy into a bunch of freakin' low wage widget makers. I remember going to college to become a widget maker. The professors thought I had a future. Unfortunately, I got stuck being a high paid professional. Now that my kids are going to college, I'll be damned if I'm gonna spend $100,000 for higher education and have them fail to become widget makers.

I told my son, if you don't start making widgets by your junior year, during the summer, I'm pulling the plug on tuition.

That's good, Gordo.
With all the high-tech and professional occupations that are being outsourced to China and India, it a smart move to have your kids learn a skilled trade. Perhaps they can then eke out a living being widget repairmen. Ought pay more than the drive-thru window at Mickey-D's, anyway.
