How many engineers and scientists are needed/unit of GNP? That's the right question. if you get more engineers than an economy warrant, companies start asking for a engineering degree for people serving beer. Or an MBA for a cashier at the bank a tourism degree to be a porter in a hotel. See how too many degrees cause harm: We've got more marine biologists than we need. As a result all of them can't find jobs. This discipline starts being crowded up. They have to survive. They crate a lot of noise about ice in the poles melting. Sea level raising, computer models of hurricanes stronger and in new directions and cry for money for research. Politicians being who they are jump into the bandwagon... Then we get all this global warming crap and all the trouble and the costs. Now we need to create a metric: How many electronic or computer engineers per unit of GDP? India has too many and they are dirty cheap. How many forest engineers, geneticists and specialists in Zoonosis (diseases of animals) per unit of Brazilian GNP?
