You've got some catching up to do. I was referring to the recruiting in terms of Engineering and Medical professions. Not enough Americans want to study those fields, to keep up with the demand of the job market.

What does that tell me? That most young Americans do not want to work that hard, to achieve the status that their parents have achieved. They are content to simply be "comfortable" with a low wage, low output type of job. Why strive for more, when low pay still affords cable tv, internet, a car, and a smartphone?
