If America started creating wealth again (taking materials from the earth and manufacturing things people need) then these jobs might be filled,,, a little, maybe.

Engineering also has the highest starting salary by far of any job field.... I'm an economics major, glad to see that isn't on the list.

That doesn't sound very intelligent. Honestly.

Well I've been to a few schools, done a few years. ivy league at that.. but honestly all of my friends are so tied up with loans and once they got out of school what did they do? they weren't able to get jobs.. no "salary" paying jobs.. no benefits. They got a restaurant job back home where they can live with mom and dad. I had no idea what I wanted to pursue so I didn't continue school, allowing debt to amount while having no vision. Degrees these days are sooo inflated! Because everyone "has" to have one. With the decline of the job market.. and with every year becoming a record breaker for college admissions.. the odds aren't great. This day and age is about existence.. being happy, staying debt free, and not letting the government fuck you over.

There's such a large percentage of things being taught in the universities/colleges that will become obsolete before the students even graduate! The world is moving at an incredible pace today, it's insane. lol but I'm just razzin, don't mean to be a downer. Oh, one other thing.. The rapture is coming!
