I see, being "business experts" in pricing tires is higher level than being a "coder". I guess being an HMO clerk is higher level than being a "driller" (dentist).
No suprise that young Americans do not want to study engineering.

Agreed. I wonder if we are not in danger of reaching a "tipping point". It was already the case that engineering was a relatively difficult major with a pretty full docket of required courses. And, as the article mentions, engineering has long been seen as nerdish and simply uncool. Now we are reaching a point that it is not even clear that it is a dependable line of work for a technical person who was unfortunate enough to have been born in a country with a high cost of living. We may reach a point where engineering is no longer a rational choice for the great majority of our technically-inclined people. It may be more rational for them to join in a game of musical chairs for those jobs which cannot yet be outsourced.
