I'm just saying, that Obama is a Lawyer himself. He should be more supportive to the future of the profession.

lawyers are a lot more brilliant and useful than engineers! how many engineers are in congress?!

lol my point is this, lawyers >> engineer. who wants to make 35k and nerd it up at a Ford Factory?

Posted: **Mon Jan 24, 2011 7:24 pm**

actually an engineer at Ford would start at 50-60k...
this is a salary many lawyers would kill for ITE.

Being in Congress in an indicator of brilliance?

It's even less of an indicator for usefulness.

No way, being a lawyer is a failure.

Oh, okay. I'm just curious where that came from and the context. I don't really care, just for curiosity sake.

+1
'The nation needs less of ME!'
-Obama

Don't we already have tons of schools like GA Tech, MIT, INCLUDING state schools that produce tons and tons of engineers?! I think the real problem lies in the fact that our manufacturing sector is going abroad. Love Obama, but I think this is a crutch statement for why our economy is doing poorly.

Probably from the same message he's been preaching since he took office: that the U.S. is losing ground to the Chinese everyday because the number of people majoring in hard sciences is constantly declining.

I was going to post something to this effect. Engineers do a lot more than his job entails.

What valid reason could you have to truly dislike the first lady?

What if I'm both? The US simultaneously needs more and less of me?

Obama has a strong distaste for lawyers, which is interesting as he went to Harvard Law so he must not have felt that way at one point.

Take this summer as evidence:

Barack Obama: "I really hope BP doesn't LAWYER UP."

He's used that expression many times, and has constantly referred to the financial people on Wall Street as well as the lawyers.

I can see his point on the issue. There are a lot of lawyers, and a lawyer is in many ways a thinker. They analyze, help acquire justice and promote a fairer society, but they don't create much. Engineers physically partake in creation.

Both are important, and engineers do make a lot of money. I think the issue is a lot of people become lawyers who don't really possess the correct set of skills to become a lawyer, but just think they're good at arguing or have no other career paths.
