I can remember when the labor department would report in the next 5/10 years, this country would be needing more workers in this field or that field. They would, supposedly, talk with industry and come up with such figures. People could then think about what field they would prepare to enter.

Also, industries used to announce scholarships to enter their field.

Our country has never been perfect - our politicians have always had the eye out for their own selves - it just seems it used to work better in many ways.
LOL!! Oh yes, you're absolutely right about that. They get to DC and it's like they go through a metal detector into their Congressional office buildings and ZAP, now they're stupid people. Honestly, someone should investigate this. Something happens to their brains in DC.
