“There is a shortage of qualified engineers in the U.S. to fill available jobs.

Companies want the best qualified people and until American Students stop attending school to smoke pot and party, those jobs are going to go to foreign engineers and scientists.”

Exactly. I got my engineering degree back in the 80’s. There were already at least 25-33% foreign students in those classes. With each decade of our schools being dumbed down, less and less of our kids can handle a difficult curriculum.

I was appalled how few kids were taking physics when my son went to high school. If they don’t take it, they won’t even know if they are interested in a career in physics or engineering (engineering is just applied physics).

Your nephew should have a fine career in front of him, with lots of opportunities.

You are exactly right about the dumbing down of our schools. We need to get the federal government out of our schools and put local governments in charge, with the states providing funding.

The liberal brainwashing would then be under control.

Sounds like you have a rewarding career. In what field are you specialized? Caleb was strongly influenced by his dad who worked on nuclear subs in Norfolk.
