Those are the types of jobs that won't and can't easily be outsourced. You can't very easily engineer a bridge in St. Louis if you're not physically there. Of course, the consequence of failure to teach high-level math courses is that we have to import people who understand these concepts from foreign countries.

Most of those jobs are being outsourced to other countries, because the American students are so spoiled they won't learn even the basic math skills.

those jobs wouldn't be outsourced in the first place if more emphasis and money was spent on education in America. We live in a country where we actually have to go out and recruit most of our top scientists and engineers from other countries..how sad is that? We spend more on prisoners and prisons than schools and students. We have graduates with 6th grade level or less reading skills. Our no child left behind is only passing idiots that can pass a test but have no applicable knowledge in the real world. Our teachers make headlines for molesting students more than mentoring them. Sadly the importance of education in this country is undermined by parents that think it is the sole responsibility of the education system to educate and raise their children and they are only concerned when the child does not pass. Long gone are the days of parents being the main providers of a child's education and school used as a supplemental tools. Colleges are nto much better, they rarely place much importance on anything but doing the homework, passing the test....skills are not applied, knowledge is not tested outside of memorization, critical thinking is frowned upon and unless you pick a field that is in demand, you might find yourself with a college degree and flipping burgers and no REAL skills at all.
