Technical

The future belongs to those who invest in unique, deep and cognitive skills.  Due to technical “advancements”, engineers and other credentialed workers now end up with administrative tasks filling the day. 

Technical workers are expected to develop communication and business skills as a priority.  There is a fundamental problem with the direction towards those non-technical skills:  engineers should become engineers because their skills and personalities tend towards mathematical innovation and problem solving.  Using an engineering undergraduate degree as a starting point for leadership is not wrong, but those who want to do technical work should be revered just as much.
