But hey, maybe The Next Big Thing will be a new way of flipping burgers or greeting Walmart customers. Then we'll be in perfect position to seize the opportunity!

Hey, don't give these globalists any ideas. They'd probably cheer on such an outcome. A new "job" for the Ph.D.'s in condensed matter physics that are forced to work at Wendy's and Mac's: figure out the optimum closest-packing arrangement of the fries as you stuff them into the box or packet. You can get the Ph.D. in chemical engineering to calculate the optimum mix or water and chemicals as he's mopping the floor at KMart. Tell the weapons designer to use his skills down at the local beauty shop to redesign all those hairdryers. But, hey, its the "free market", and these people have only themselves to blame for choosing the wrong career. Who cares if we lack the intellectual capital and infrastructure to be a world power in military and technology capabilities? If the "free market" tells us to give those people the boot, we must do it.

If that was the case, then real wages would be dropping for Ph.D.'s. And they're not.
