Ok, let's take my father-in-law who's a machinist.  He saw that
manufacturing was on the way out years ago and switched to the
millwrights.  Then he got his security clearance for nuclear power
plants and he travels around the country doing Nuke plant
refurbishing.

The point is not the job, it's being smart enough to do some career
engineering.  You can't just expect that any job you want to do will
be there until you retire.  You have to plan, forecast, and adapt to
the market.

Unfortunately, I don't think High School is not preparing people to do
that and that's my we're losing our competitive edge.
