Re: Is this an EU or Europe thing ?
Supply of people with relevant skills....
This is a problem highlighted in a very good book 'how the west was lost'. (Dambisa Moyo)
If you have a kid today what is your advice to them...
a) Study and work your fingers to the bone on science and engineering in order to be paid a pittance
or
b) Go into banking and earn a shed load
or
c) Get your tits out (sorry girls) or kick a football around / take up ham acting and become famous, rich beyond avarice and have whole pages and pages devoted to how wonderful you were when you finally pop your clogs after a couple of forgettable football game or films.
I wonder why we have no engineers or scientists any more? Sadly for me no one wants to see my dazzling football skills now I am fair fat and near sixty but if only my dad had given me the correct career advice I could have been retired in the sun on one of my choice of private ships with a queue of teenage hopefuls willing to trade anything for my autograph
