Why should we? They can't get jobs. We have some of the best engineering schools in the world, and their graduates can't find jobs. The reason? Their jobs have been outsourced.

My husband was a production manager in a manufacturing plant. The plant closed in 1992, following a trend, as most manufacturing has been outsourced to Asian countries. He went back to school, got a masters degree in telecommunications and became a network engineer. He started a new career at the age of 30, right at entry level and worked his way up. Guess what? His entire department has been outsourced to an Asian company and he is the last man left, to work as a liaison with the outside company.

How many times should we send our workers back to school for new skills and different degrees? Now we're outsourcing legal and even medical jobs. If we want our economy to grow, we need to have jobs. What field is left??
