America is taking a Roman holiday. The middle class is under attack and continues to shrink, wages and benefits are spiraling downward, energy and health costs are rising out of control, and (voter) revolution is fomenting in our ranks. America no longer makes anything, all jobs are going offshore and Wall Street unrepentantly continues to repackage worthless debt with no value added in the face of the worst USA-lead global economic crisis in modern history. If you design, build and otherwise make things, you are facing the prospect of vanishing work and no demand for your skills. If you have obtained a college degree, advanced degree and professional license, your potential losses are magnified. Other countries, like Australia and New Zealand are hungry for specialized talent. Unfortunately, the writing on the wall tells us that we may lose the global game to attract the technical talent who build and maintain our modern world.
