I only wish that were true here. Engineering seems to be dying out in the UK as
far as I can see. I certainly can't imagine why anyone would want to enter
engineering with the current attitude here to manufacturing which is what needs
those engineers. Commentators sometimes refer to the UK as being
'post-industrial'. Thatcher was largely repsonsible with her promotion of the
service economy over all else. She didn't like unions you see and since most
union menbers were in manufacturing it suffered her wrath. Possibly the most
insane policy in modern times in the UK.

How much IS an apartment in Boston ? $2k pcm ? You'd have to pay almost that for
a nice apartment in much of the UK's more prosperous Southe East.

Same thing here Graham, you are just ahead of the curve there. We are outsourcing, on a greatly expanding scale, to second and third world nations who can do it at a fraction of the cost. When it is time to call in the chips, bonds, loans, etc., which we have put on our childrens' heads they won't even have a job where they are capable of making the payments (paying the GREATLY inflated taxes.)

Talk about a housing bubble, this is going to make that look like play money. Don't look now but the "Amero" is only around the corner ...
