>What is the point of higher education when the job opportunities in the economy do not require it?> Where is he showing that educated US workers are working in these low tech jobs?

One of the Ph.Ds is on a world tour with his girlfriend and is reachable only on his US VOIP number. The silicon valley resident uses the cleaning service that employs mexicans, a pool service, a lawn service, and a limo service. -Arun
