Finally, something that an aspie can bite into, tinkering! Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of the Super-NT Model of Business, where personality and office politics are more important than actually DOING SOMETHING! For the past 30 years, America has been oriented around paper pushing work that accomplishes nothing but is a good excuse to employ highly educated NT women with liberal arts degrees and pay them exorbitant salaries to gossip and backstab. The credit glut is OVER, and paying people for doing nothing is so 2007.

case in point: the Brass Goggles Steampunk site. I've learned more about casting, molding, brazing, finishing, lathes, etc...

It never left

My family has done this for generations. Small markets that only small companies can survive in.

The mainstay of the German economy is the small family owned business that employs ten or less, and makes one product that is the best in the world. Middlestand, they do not wish to grow or sell out.

This article should be called, college grads face unemployment, for no one needs them, and won't.

They expected to start at $60,000 to $100,000 as an office boy at GM, and now find no one needs them. Making bicycle parts will not pay the bills.

$7,000 for a table top CNC? It can be built for $500.
