That’s because you learn and then dump them into garbages.</p>

<p>“So people who go to college have no choice but to go into healthcare?”'</p>

<p>No, I never said that.</p>

23

<p>Homer leave engineering alone. No matter how bad YOU think it is,engineering is better than a whole lot of jobs out there. Not everyone wants to go into health care. I don’t understand why you always set out to make people dislike engineering.
Are you just a ■■■■■ who does this because you like arguing with the other people on this board?</p>

24

<p>Homer, what other fields do you suggest college students look into then?</p>

25

<p>Thanks for the replies there everyone. I have gotten very useful information here. You know that it also depends on what college you go to. Does finding a job with a masters easier to do than if you only have a BS. I plan to have at least a masters degree in any field I enter. I think the best engineering field to get into is probably mechanical, nuclear, and civil right now. We are not going to stop building or upgrading buildings and not stop making machines. The worst is probably software. I hear they are getting laid off. But honestly no profession is safe from the recession. This recession isn’t going to last forever and it will most likely have been fixed by the next 5-10 years.</p>

26

<p>Recession is also a normal occurrence in economy. The market will adjust itself, but government needs to step in to assuage the situation, as today’s economy is way too complicated.</p>

27

<p>“In the BLS link, 7 of the 30 don’t require a bachelor’s degree. If you go according to that, people are better off not going to college at all.”</p>

<p>What am I not seeing something? 7 of 30…that’s ((7/30)*100) = 23.3% do not need a bachelor degree. So 100-23.33 =76.67 % need a bachelor degree or higher.</p>

28

<p>Sorry, typo. I meant 7 of the 30 do require one.</p>

29

<p>Homer, Getting a chemical engr degree doesn’t mean a person has to work in that particular field. I have read that chEs can get jobs as Mechanical engineers, environmental engineers, biomedical engineers, materials engineers, petroleum engineers, etc.</p>

<p>“We are not going to … stop making machines.”</p>

<p>True, but there is nothing that says machines must be made in the U.S. If I’m an executive, I can go get myself a bunch of Chinese slaves to build machines for 20 cents an hour with no benefits. And I can have those machines designed in Banglore by $12,000 a year engineers and/or H1B visa engineers here in the U.S.</p>

31

<p>Homer, do you have an opinion in regards to post #24? Let’s say you can make a presentation to a high school senior class about fields they should consider looking into during college. What would be the top 5 or 10 that you would recommend? We know you would say healthcare is #1… what would be the rest?</p>

32

<p>And then when all the cheap “machines” break down and need to be completely replaced I can enjoy my massive severance package and finally retire to my yacht on the Mediterranean!</p>

<p>Foreign work is often times sub-par in quality. It takes substantially less to become an engineer in India than it does in the US. You don’t have cheap foreign labor design your next product, but they may manufacture or package it.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>EXCUSE ME, MR. HOMER.
I am a Chinese. I am offended. The way you phrase your setence is very inappropriate.</p>

<p>Let’s study your sentence structure:

So you want to get slaves from China? I don’t know any “obvious” slavery market in China. Maybe the black market and the smugglers. But please don’t attribute such strong adjective to cheap labors. </p>

<p>By the way, this attribute that you set to cheap labor in China is quite similar to what Steven Patrick Morrissey wrote earlier today, “Chinese are subspecies”.</p>
