That's what the fisheries "technicians" do. :biggrin:
On a serious note, the same thing is happening in aerospace. 1/2 of the workforce is over 50. and most of the remaining 1/2 are under 30. There are not many folks around me that have the 15 years of experience who will be here in 10 years when all the baby boomers retire. Our program tried to hire a lot of young folks-like myself-to start to combat this.
But aerospace is much cooler than fish. Not that fishing isn't fun, but blowing sh!t up is much more fun.

I've been the youngest engineer here since the day I started 9 years ago. 90% of engineers will be elligible to retire in the next few years and they all plan on doing so. The company has made no attempt to do anything about it. I guess I'll be able to name my price in few years.
That's cool. I wonder how many little niche fields there are like fisheries and aerospace and nursing there are going to be if these projected layoffs begin to really take effect.
15000 lay offs just last week.
I am also in the aerospace/defense industry. The youngest person in my group. I have been getting "XXXX XXXX is retiring next week come get cake and say farewell" emails 3 or 4 times a month. And the company I work for was just purchased and the company thought bought us retirement options are not as good as our old ones I see alot more guys getting out if they can afford it. Company at the start of the summer had 200 open positions.

most consumer electronics companies down sized last year thankfully.most companies only kept us young folk around since the old folk werent pulling their weight
Same for the porn industry.
You would think that after 10 versions of one movie, it would get old. But when you see a title like "Back door sluts 27", you realize that some people just can't get enough. Not sure if it's the original cast, though.

On an engineering front, Solar World announced they are breaking ground on a huge fab plant here next year. It will be the largest solar manufacturing plant in the world (guess it fits the name, right).
My wife and I were talking about me going from porn peddling to something "green". But I would miss having multiple TV's in my office. COPS and Cheaters aren't going to watch themselves.

Codependency?
When you hear the comment, "I can see your tonsils from here." and her mouth isn't open, then you have your answer.Same for the porn industry.

If my name were Bill Smoker, my kids would hate me.
Nah, Boner and Skankweed would never hate their father.
In 10 years all the boomers will be retired and there will be a frenzy for competent workers. I think engineering jobs will be fine. The only problem is all those boomers who wanted to retire in a year or two won't since their 401k tanked recently, so they'll work another 5 years. I'd hate to be a college grad in the next few years.
Its the same story in the shoe industry... so many feet, so little time.
Gee, thanks....I love how bright our future looks right now...
That's the field I'm in. I'm an ME for Spire Solar in MA. We've tripled in size in the past year and a half, and currently provide 90% of the world's turnkey production line equipment to companies that manufacture solar modules. In fact Solar World sounds very familiar.....I think they may have bought some equipment from us.
I was hired full time directly out of school (worked there part-time my last 2 years of college), and out of 30-35 scientists/engineers, I'm the only one under the age of 35ish. Couldn't have been at a better place at a better time.
