I think this has been coming on for years. It seems to be why we are in the economic situation we are in today. It seems that many young people want to just go into some financial field and instantly make megabucks. That is why there is getting to be a shortage of engineers. My kids saw that I repaired most things and only bought a new one when it wasn't repairable any more (or unless my wife just wanted a new one). When my oldest son was first married he was at his in-laws and they said the taillight was burned out in their car and they had to take it in to the garage and have it replaced. When he went out and changed it himself, they were amazed. People today are just programmed to not fix things like some others below said. One other story I have is about a new mechanical engineer I worked with years ago. We went to the production plant and he had no idea what the difference was between a electrical conduit and a water pipe. He didn't even know how to change a tire on his car when he had a flat. I asked him why he went into mechanical engineering and he said because he liked the mathematics. He didn't last long in our department. Roger
