    Patrick is right that it sure doesn't appear that the U.S. produces enough people with advanced degrees and engineers, etc. to meet our needs. Tim Getting a PhD in chemical engineering will get you a job with a starting pay of atleast $90K. Get an MBA and you make, well, more (Not to menton how much easier it is!! I toyed with an stats major for about 2 quarters. Then I woke up.) Besides Goldman will pay engineers and statisticians a heck of alot more than, well, anyone else. I dont have data to support it, but I think that is why there is a dearth of engineers on the "field" level. Oh and to get back on topic, the article was also misogynistic. WSJ so no big surprise there...
