...just tell me what technical job I should train for in order to generate a good income...

You could always be the half-coherent scion from a well-to-do aristocratic family. The job entails drifting through the first half of your life in an intoxicated state; while generating enough gaffs to provide a multitude of embarassing evidence for all of your family's favored friends and contacts. At around age 40, someone hands you a cup of coffee and sends you ambling down a red carpet, while your daddy's friends blow your horn. Then you take up a comfy executive office in a corporate or public field; where you will spend the rest of your life either leaking insider trading tips, or channeling public graft. Unfortunately, it is very hard to shop around for the right parents. :-)

There are some other respectable fields out there; but, none of those are protected from the export of our manufacturing base, the outsourcing of our service sector, or, from the ever growing uncontrolled flood of immigration. Besides, we seem to like these people for senior leadership positions (they are easier to manipulate).
