Along these lines, I find it disconcerting that in the back of recent Circuit

advertising "Outsourcing to China" of embedded engineering for $15/hour,
including both HW and SW. This would put serious doubt into my choice to

the last thing a parent wants their kids to do these days is be a commodity
coder, engineer, or electronics repairman because of the low pay and
offshoring. We are turning into a nation of MBAs, burger flippers,

Yes, but wait until those MBAs and sales guys realise they actually need
products to sell. Who's going to design their products if there are no
engineers left?
