Then they are faced with the CNC and the lack of algebra knowledge 
causes them major trouble. Simple math won't cut it anymore if one wants 
to reach higher job levels in many such fields.

I inquired about teaching analog circuit design at a local college. Pay 
was not so important because at some point one has to give back. I was 
told that I need the "proper credentials" first. Really? So I went into 
other "giving back" fields without such non-sensical stone-walling and 
fiefdom behavior. Where I don't even get gas money and that's ok. Best 
of all, no union.
