- The Education Problem
-
Why would any American get a science or technology degree today? All the work is going offshore. People in those fields had their careers crash around them. Now, employers are only hiring people who are currently employed and go even further to require perfect credit. Try being out of work for two years.
This is seen by the kids and they don't want to see their lives ruined long before retirement. The message is that they would be crazy to pursue a design level career. Thus, they apply themselves elsewhere.
Sure education is being dumbed down again. Teaching a test is easier than teaching something that requires thought. And, some groups out there want to destroy not only education, but the science that so called secular humanism is built on. It's not enough to believe what they want, but they insist that we bend science to their beliefs.
The problem isn't education. The problem is the already educated adults. Their behavior drives outsourcing and pseudo-science. I'm happy to see that my son will not involve himself in a technology-driven career even when he has the ability.
This all started back in the early eighties, so there is much to fix, but we lack the will to try.
