> “There’s going to be engineering opportunities out there for students,” Montgomery County Commission Chairman Doug Singleton said when I spoke with him Friday. “Opportunities for students, not only to have jobs but to learn about careers and have opportunities that they would never ever get to see.”
As a tech hiring manager in Birmingham, you know what would also be awesome? Funding education in STEM, programming, product design, etc. I’m often forced to hire remote employees out of state, because there just aren’t enough qualified folks in the area. It sure would be nice to keep those high paying jobs IN the state.
But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe ‘ol Kay sees something I don’t. Maybe the global economy is going to shift from technology being the major engine of growth. Maybe to water park magnates will soon rule the world and we’ll all tube to work.
