Create Scholarships in Technical Fields
Too much of our government money is going to support people being educated in fields that do not support the technological advancement of human existence. While we certainly need people to study a diverse set of fields, and even a few lawyers, our education system is not set up to provide incentives for people to pursue careers in engineering and the sciences. We need to encourage our smartest people to study these subjects. We need to make them desirable. Scholarships for students that choose those fields at the undergraduate and graduate level, and high school "scholarships" to allow more qualified students to attend advanced science and technology high schools like tjhsst.edu would be a step in the right direction. We can get the money from the money that is currently spent supporting people studying less useful fields.
