Why bother with all that hard math if you can make $80k+ your first year after you get an associate degree in (for example) nuclear medicine.

Point I'm making is that US economy is turning into "services economy", while science/engineering/manufacturing is slowly drifting overseas.

There's hard math in computer science now?

The US is still primarily a farming and (high tech) manufacturing economy:

"Exports: $1.2 trillion Primarily soybeans, fruit, corn, industrial supplies, transistors, aircraft, motor vehicle parts, computers"
