Glenn, I hate to tell you this but you are living in a dream world if you think you are immune from this issue.According to your "real world", most fully qualified engineers in the USA are unemployed and on food stamps. Bunk. Garbage. Swill. Period.

Gee.. you are pretty good at twisting things around. I never once said that "MOST" engineers in the USA are unemployed. What I said was that a lot of companies are shutting down or downsizing, resulting in a lot of people finding themselves unemployed in an environment where there are not many available jobs. Continue in your egotistical bliss... but please don't continue to claim to be an authority on the "real world" job market conditions.

Maybe not MOST, but MANY. MORE than there should be, especially when the ITAA is telling the American people and Congress that there is a severe shortage of IT workers.

BTW, what is it that you do exactly?
