Comment on Public Perception of Engineers by Michael Wood

Could not agree more with Kevin. He just explained it so well. The problem is not shortage of engineers rather every one want looking for the supply of cheap engineers. There is no recogniation of engineers and what they do for humanity and economy. The kids do not want to be engineers and I do not blame them for it, why should they ? they can do something else with much brain work required. They can be stock brockers, salesman, property agents etc etc … which pays much better and easier life to lead. Who want to waste thier life with math and physics and deadline and shit pay. The indians and chinese can do that. Guys this is demise of western techological advantage, science does not count any more.
