Seen it all before, sad to see it again.
Back in days I graduated with a shiny new diploma as a Mechanical Engineer and specialized in manufacturing. Things looked rosy and a carrer was a given. Fast forward 10 years or so and I seen manufacture after manufacture pull up stakes and head off in search of low wage employees.

Fortunately for me my "hobby" was computers and control systems so I was able to make a shift to IT on the shop floor. Well, for the few remaining manufactures that hadn't left.

All I can say is that I am soooo glad my retirement isn't that far off and I've managed to put a few pennies away. I really feel sorry for those people that are just starting out and those that are "over the hill" and unemployable at age 40...
