you mention tech - what tech specifically? most tech is made outside the country now. maybe everybody become smartphone app creators?

if it's to be tech, since we are not allowed to be a managed economy like our competitors, what possible force could cause the corporations to hire american workers to produce the tech?
you are right about the type of jobs, if you don't have a skill or a job in the public sector your fucked. I have friends who don't have any skills and when they go for a job for a warehouse position they are hundreds of applicants for like 5 positions.

I'm even thinking about working for state corrections, but when they told me I scored an 85 and in the writing part of the exam I scored 99% higher then all applicants...put up a red flag that I would be working with dummies.

Currently I have the same job for 20 years and my wife is an RN and adult is a fun side business. but our expenses are high so we need to figure out other incomes for the future.
