> it doesn't translate to engineering careers.

'Shortage' of US engineers is same as 'shortage' of developers - artificially engineered by off-shoring and importing foreign labor via H1B etc.

There are jobs, there just aren't jobs that want to pay well..



I don't think it's just pay. There are so many clueless administrators involved no one can actually communicate and collaborate with eachother.

The independent maker thing is probably the solution to this.


‘Independent maker’ seems problematic. I assume you mean the collective maker movement?


Independent as opposed to having a corporate or institutional job.
