Well, it's Ken's birthday...I'm making an exception from my imposed hiatus.

What I'm trying to say is that the purpose of the competition is still very self-sufficient. They equate in the timeline of commerce to a farmer who grows just enough food for his own family, and has not yet achieved the point of realizing trade is possible.

The cycle does not always come full-circle. I am living proof. Though I thought it was ready, it has not come to the point where it is able to relate and support other professions as well as it does the technical fields. But because of the amount of energy and emotion that is necessary to be thouroughly involved, if a deviating choice is made by the student, the student is flung off the ride and comes smashing to the ground, dazed and confused since the support system that has been there for up to 4 high school years is just not capable of supporting them just yet. Though, we will not know when it is ready until someone tries and succeeds. So, unfortunately, it will keep happening.

There is nothing wrong with being self-sufficient, for I feel that the purpose of breeding engineers is a good one. It's just necessary for those who have not yet chosen.... be cautious when the time comes to make the choice whether to deviate or not.
