I'm well aware. I'm a lead engineer on a critical infrastructure project in the hundreds of millions range, that probably costs double what it actually should thanks to any number of issues with the process.
> What's really needed is more trade school so we can get more people in those positions (and yes, this increase in supply will lower wages).
Agreed 100%. There is a crisis in the loss of institutional knowledge, bringing new blood in, training and mentoring them up. Workers and engineers are direly needed at all levels.
> It actually seems there's more work than money in every single field. We need to figure out how to make a world that doesn't take so much work to keep running. Demographics being what they are, we aren't going to be able to have complete funding for everything in the future.
> It's either that, or have a world with well funded profitable amazing things, next to crumbling basic things.
Either less work to keep running, or less money to do the work required.
