With the diminution of full time, benefit-paying jobs, the rapid
increase in outsourcing, the replacement of high paying jobs with
lower paying jobs in most sectors, with 1,000,000 lawyers in the
US and too many MD's and RN's, with an export of skilled-labor
jobs to China and India, and a closing of the wage gap between
high school and college grads for the first time, while US tech-
nical grad programs will continue to thrive due to foreign grad
students [a $40 billion industry which helps us balance or ext-

300-500 colleges will close shop in the next few years.
