And in his speech at the DNC...Pres. Obama stated that there are 3 MILLION high tech jobs right now in the U.S. that we just don't have enough educated people to fill.

Really?

So there are just 3 million high tech jobs that companies can't train ANYBODY to do right now? That sounds like some kind of bullshit that was made up and fed to us.
IDK about the 3 million number, but overall it's really true. I have bloomberg tv on pretty much every day and business leaders, analysts, economists etc have been saying this for years.

To your last question, I'm not talking about jobs someone with a high school diploma and a little extra training can fill. I mean real, professional level jobs/careers that people can earn solid livings from.
