more on Losing Our Edge?

[Dave Farber <dave () farber net>]

In all of this we have not focused on the US citizen getting a high-tech 
education in the US. Are the only ones that we are concerned about is the 
foreign student?

Over the last 3 years the US educated US engineer has struggled finding a 
job. Having worked with IEEE-USA and some professors in Utah I am seeing 
many graduates go begging for work. In the comments below the real issues 
are identified. Reduced costs to the company in paying little or no 
benefits and tax shelters.

Or have we Americans become non-entities. Lets start thinking about 
attracting more US citizens into the high-tech field by providing well 
paying jobs. The "new jobs" the new economy is suppose to produce with 
manufacturing jobs going off-shore. We have the education system to produce 
them.

Thanks,
Brent
