As many of you know, my son is taking flight lessons. He's past solo,

He's a senior in high school, and is wondering what to do with the

but has decided that math is not something he truly enjoys. (Although
he's good at it -- far, far more advanced than I am.)

Become an Engineer and then buy his own plane.

Ha, ha. Very funny. Become an engineer and watch your job be out-sourced by
some doofus with an MBA who doesn't know which end is up, but can run a
spreadsheet.

More like : Become an engineer then see your job be outsourced to a brilliant
Indian with a PhD, who runs Mechanical Desktop and Ansys FEA in his sleep and
works 18 hours a day at $8/hour.- Hide quoted text -

Damn, where can I get him??? We've got 14 employees in India right
now. Their compensation packages are just over 1/2 of a U.S. employee.
After adding up the costs, I've never found any cost savings in India.
The reason companies hire engineers in India is because there are lots
of them. Like I said, we've got rec's for C++ and Java programmers
right now near Sacramento and are getting nill for good resumes. We
may have to switch the recs to India just to find people. Companies
find engineers in India because there is such a shortage in the U.S.
