[QUOTE="kcdt, post: 16270, member: 349"] Fair enough. Many of the prostho asso I belong to are dropping their standards because the workforce is disappearing and they've only now woken up to the problem. After the hurdles I got through to get in, I admit to having mixed feelings about that, but we are in crisis in the US. I suspect that the best and brightest from the offshore labs make start trying to go the green card route to live and work and be citizens here. Maybe that will be the salvation of the US industry.... I've always wondered if the thing that kept the wages so low and killed off higher education in this field was that the military trained so many for so long... years and years of ex-GIs well trained, but without the economic necessity that universities saddle the civilians with.... It was like free manna from heaven and there were so many... well, you get the point. The current attrition of the workforce has been driving up fees and wages here, but of course the offshore market does cut into that.... that is until those countries wind up with a real middle class with real expectations, and then their economic model will change or the workers will leave for better pastures. For the sake of those who follow us, I hope we can elevate this profession to the level of respect it deserves. [/QUOTE]
