woot for engineers!
There is something wrong with a society in which people who learn about an imaginary friend are paid less than social workers or elementary teachers.
Huh?
Darren: Huh?
Anonymous poster (not me ... I *sign* my anonymous posts!) was referring to Theology (item 8) paying better than items (2) and (3).
-Mark Roulo
Anonymous poster (troll?) complained that such people are paid *less* than teachers.
I know what the person/troll was trying to say. I was just pointing out that said person/troll screwed up.
Darren,
You might want to read "A Whole New Mind" by Daniel Pink. I have my AP Art kids read it. The bad thing about skills such as math is that they are easy to transport across cultures. That means offshoring. Art on the other hand is part of the culture and even though you won't get rich at it, it does provide for a better life. Corporations are beginning to hire designers specifically to help technology fuse more readily into society. Just an interesting opinion.
