Germany Needs Lawyers Too

In a resent post I commented on brain drain from developing nations. Small Times reports that Germany doesn’t have enough engineers because “many students opted for less arduous studies such as management.”

The engineer is becoming an endangered species in Germany, threatening the quality of the nation's products and forcing companies to seek staff from abroad.

Europe's biggest economy is short of about 15,000 engineers, says the country's engineering association VDI.

At least they aren’t becoming lawyers.
