This is a fascinating thread. I would like to add that we conduct a yearly CEO Challenge survey and near the top of the list in every year is the search for talent.
Now the word "realize" is also an interesting term to use. By conjecture I assume that you support the idea that it is not worth going to college because there are no jobs to be had in the U.S. What an strange thing to say since this country has become a service economy!

It is possible that full professors are now paid better than industrial scientists. But the gap will shrink as more and more students realize it's not worth anymore to attend college, as there are no jobs for educated people in US. What will happen to talented individuals then? They'll become smart criminals as in Russia. . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . ================================================================= . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
