Just what will it take to indicate to some people that we have a problem, when we've lost 75 to 80% of our engineering positions?

When the kids of today realize that they won't have careers in football, basketball or baseball and maybe they should start focusing on educating themselves..........

FWIW, those "homeland" jobs arent being given to foreigners over Americans, they are being given to the foreigners due to the lack of properly trained Americans. The demand is out there, look at the want adds.

Somewhere on this thread is the mention of somethink near a 189,000 lost engineering jobs in the U.S. The President in the last day or two said that if students would get a good engineering education, they'd take jobs from overseas.

I suggest that not very many people are going to be stupid enough to earn an engineering degree when the going rate of pay will be judged by what China and India are willing to pay for that position.

You seem to be suggesting otherwise. I'm not sure how you can.
