hire astrophysicists. Also some stand-alone research places. At the moment the job market for them is decent, but he's just started and has five or six years to go. If the mindset of those currently running things remains in place, almost all jobs at that level will go away, and this country will completely lose its position as world leader in research.

When I first started college and thought I'd go into teaching (high school level, English or history) I was scheduled to graduate in 1969. Had I done so I'd have had no trouble getting a teaching job. The very next year teaching jobs were almost impossible to get. Lucky me, I dropped out of college after one semester.
