re: No...
When technology and innovation fields have no future in them (like what is rapidly becoming the case currently- its why I'm getting into real-estate), then nobody will pursue them.
Look, whats harder in life:
Breaking your back for an advanced CS or ECE degree from a top school and then being unemployed, or getting a MBA and getting some midlevel schmoe job that can't be exoprted out from under you.
That 'americans are innately innovative' may be true, but if you act in ways to squash that native talent (giving tax breaks to corporations that export tech jobs), it will fade.
But Bush says this is good for the economy. Right.
