Importing Tech Talent

Heaven forbid that we encourage bright young Americans by making American companies offer apprenticeship programs to bright young Americans, including young blacks and Hispanics stuck washing the floors at Pizza Hut.  My Uncle Joe never went to college.  He got a job at Pratt and Whitney just before the war and became a crack engine mechanic.  In his time he was responsible for testing the engines being developed for the F-15.   That isn't possible today … but it should be.  Uncle Joe earned a top salary and died a millionaire.
