I wonder if we will ever be able to compete with third world countries for these jobs in a global economy. If your experience is anything like mine then most of your friends and family will be employed in the service sector. How many investment advisors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, advertising sales, etc... do we need anyway?

I know exactly what you mean - I sell software, and I can't think of one friend who sells or produces an actual good. We all run in a circle servicing each other to support some good somewhere I guess... I painted houses in college and I still look back on that a bit romantically. There was something to be said for finishing your day and having something to show for it. I still drive by homes I did and have tremendous pride about it!
