Lizzie Tudor, Did you ever stop to think that the "I" bubble was just that? And that maybe those kids' "skills" aren't in such high demand as was PROJECTED? At least for now? Economic development ain't always smooth, you know, at least according to the economists who I studied under, and the history that supports them. If a guy took a $50K job at the Gap, that sounds like his supply meets their demand; a marriage, or at least shacking up, so to speak, economically. I doubt their relationship will last beyond the next economic upcycle, from your narrative.

Re: I think we are in trouble economically here. I beg the differ. It's called a free market system. You have to have faith in how the economy runs, and it's better to let it run on it's on terms. That said, I do worry about the lost of expertise that has been earn through hard work, and the replacement of it, from new young minds that are not pursuing engineering degrees. Think a little about it. Think of engineers from sigs generation, the foundation they built. How will that kind of nearly un-measurable addition to our economy be compromised by outsourcing? The solution taken to extreme is government meddling and socialistic, and that is not a good thing. Change is wrenching. Some people will not adapt, others will. Greg ps. We are three years into and five year cycle, from which will emerge (at last) a new bull market defined by what the decade will be about.
