The study said deteriorating opportunities and comparative wages for young science and engineering graduates has discouraged US students from entering these fields, but not those born in other countries.

Anybody majoring in Engineering at this time is in for a rude shock upon graduation. I wouldn't recommend it.

Q. Why do our politians want the US to be a third world country?

A. Because an affluent middle class is so hard to manage. They demand things. Better get rid of them.

Ok, what should they major in? Shouldn't a college education include a challenging course of study?

You mistake a college education for trade school - lots of people do.

Prospective students: Study engineering and other technical disciplines. work hard. Be rewarded far above your peers who decided to simply "have a good time" in college while taking the easy route.

Nor computer science, accounting, medical transcription, etc. maybe even law, since the work that new law school graduates used to do:research etc, is now starting to be outsourced to India.

what would you recommend? massage college? I hire computer engineers regularly, and starting salaries are $55K-$65K. I can't find enough PhDs at $150K and up. My last two hires are foreign nationals.
