My father in law was a B-24 and B-17 pilot in WWII, and he served as a command pilot, operations officer, training officer, and safety officer at bomb group and wing level. After the war, he used his GI Bill to get a degree in Electrical Engineering and went to work for the Power Company. He ended up as the Vice President for Personnel based on his expertise in training and safety.
When he retired 45 years ago, his replacement was a Human Resources expert, not an engineer. Every other company followed the same trend and it became the way that women were brought into the executive suites. All HR Departments are now hot beds of sedition working against the best interests of the company, the economy, and the employees. Interestingly, where you find women engineers, you do not see these destructive traits.
