Yeah, this article (if you can call it that) is a little short on the facts. Chemical Engineering beats Sports Physiology, and it always will.

Useful? Yes. A route to employment able to provide adequate income to support a family? I am not sure.
I have a Ph.D. in Polymer Science and Engineering and have worked the last 25 years in the Research Laboratories of a major corporation undergoing significant transformation. The income from this career supported my family, including putting my two children through college. During this time, I have seen many highly-skilled and motivated friends in my own company and others lose their jobs in downsizing after downsizing. Technician jobs that used to require an Associates degree now require a Bachelors and few are available.
I am concerned that we are committing national suicide by off-shoring almost all our manufacturing capacity. Just wait until the value of our dollar falls and we can't afford to import these goods. What then? Can we rebuild capacity? I don't think the corporate execs who have received huge bonuses realize just how much it will cost to rebuild what they dismantled and in many cases destroyed. Much of the intellectual property required to actually make good product left our companies with those laid-off workers.
