Of course not. I never even suggested that, but I did say that without the next generation of engineers we will face just that prospect. If the oldsters don't patch the torch, it will burn out
Second, no, I am not in my mid-fifties, I just turned fifty. But, I think it would be frankly arrogant and selfish to imagine that anyone needs to retire so that I can have a shot.
No society has ever suffered having 30 percent of the work force stay into their dotage. It's never happened before and it retards the growth, success and opportunities of every generation that follows.
I had that same experience. I had a degree in exercise physiology, and I had worked in the field.
Yeah, that's just like aerospace and electrical engineering....
It's clear the old boomers won't pass the torch gracefully--the torch will have to be stomped out of their grasping liverspotted hands....
:-}
I’m sorry you’re bitter about the boomers. It’s sad, but you’re set in your viewpoint, and nothing anyone says will change your mind, I suspect. Funny, because that’s what they usually say about us old geezers.
I think life will go on, the market will work, and we will still have an aerospace industry.
Just be nice to those old folks who refuse to get out of your way. And pay attention, you might learn something from them.
