There are really good jobs that are going begging, and many of them are getting exported. Intel has technical operations in China, Russia, India and so forth, and we have them there frankly to a significant extent because that's where there are trained people. I guess I'm still sufficiently U.S. oriented that I cringe to see the quality of jobs we're exporting overseas. That's exactly what it means. Frankly, our schools K through 12 have not done a good job with the basic programs necessary to motivate people in the direction of a technical career.
Technical careers start early.
I know in my case I knew generally the direction I wanted to go in before I started high school. Not unless we had some special new idea for doing it. So many people are tackling it in so many ways, it's awfully hard to know how to do something different and have an impact. It's kind of like solving world hunger, the way I look at it. So instead the foundation focuses more on higher education and science.
