Re-Education of America - World Market

Today there are hundreds of high-tech jobs for people but companies are finding it difficult to find qualified people for these jobs. Companies are having to insource their engineers from contries like India and China who produce over 100,000 engineers every year. They are graduating with degrees from top universites at a cost of $5000-$10,000 compared to the high costs in United States. We are graduating too many people with law degrees and business degress and not enough with degrees in electrical, mechancial, plastics, chemical and civil engineering to name a few.
There aren't enough doctors getting through because of the ridiciulously high cost of medical school and the fact most students that graduate high school are prepared enough for such higher education. We bailout everyone execept those areas that have long term benefits to the country. I propose all students be in school from K-14, with everyone graduting school with an A.S. degree. Alot of school districts are top heavy with staff and not paying their teachers enough. The value of education is not being impressed upon students who skip school, have gameboys and cellphones in school instead of being challenged in school. a $50 billion bailout of schools with re-organization is in order. Cutting the costs of junior colleges and universites in half would make it more affordable for people to return to college to increase their skillset. With all the high technology the average worker needs to know including computer use. Corporations such as IBM, Dell and Microsoft should contribute more money and computer to high schools, junior colleges and universites to compete with the wave of graduates from other countries like India and China who crank out countless doctors and engineers every year. The costs of books, supplies,etc have made a top college like Harvard over $30,000 a quarter. If I was to return to college I would have to incur large student loans. Students today graduate top universites and stuck paying $100,000-$200,000 debts graduating from law school or medical school. In this economy besides paying for rent, food, gasoline, insurance; most of us don't want to add additional debt and pressure to our ever shrinking paycheck.
Withe the better educated people being able to contribute to the energy sector, better solutions to our energy problems can be met by an increase in educated public.
