@Blick-Brotha

This is not a personal attack so don't take it as such, the point I am raising is that from where I am looking NOT ENOUGH of our young people are following the career paths I mentioned and TOO MANY are opting for courses liek business studies. I do not have a problem with anyone following these paths, I do howver feel that we are over representedon these courses in higher education establishments

Things may be different in the US I don't know

There was a news item on the TV here last night about the under-represenation of women in surgery and soem of the reasons for it, strategies are now being put in place to encourgae more female surgeons, women it seems are not encouraged to go into surgery, we it seems are not encourage or motivated to pursue careers in certain disciplines

The other reason I have raise this is that there are a whole heap of unemployed IT/business graduates out there (a rare phenomenon in the world of medicine in particular)

You've raise some interesting points but raise more whys in my mind, why do so many switch from science/engineering courses for instance?
