In the end, all these master degreed nogs will be unemployed and I'll be laughing because you can't ship your house to china to be painted. haha bitches. Pay up.
Immigrant labour will price you out of the market. Or make you so poor you'll be better off on welfare.

My company already get their ---- made in china, we just do our design/marketing in the UK. Engineering pay sucks though, its decent money, but not exactly high earning.

Doing something she enjoys is probably going to be the biggest part of choosing a career, perhaps she'd like to teach? The money sucks, but the holidays are good.

Telecom. Starting pay for a four year degree is $60K+ and the job market is growing in our country regardless of China. A country that can't correctly name a couch's color isn't a threat to high-end skilled labor.

I'm tinkering with the idea of running with a two year degree in electronics, as I recieved a job offer based on my mechanical/electronics background starting at $24/hr. Instead of knocking off a BS at WCU for an extra two years of class, I can do the same BS through UNC-C with four years of online classes and some hardcore mini-mester labs during the summer. I'm not sure I'd get what I want to out of online classes, though.
