Maybe it’s time to tax computer professions the same as everyone else then.
Finally! Nothing will be made in UK and we will become even more of an importing nation and dependent on Factories located half way across the world, which are under authoritarian governments. The era of slavery is upon us.
A lot of manufacturing jobs have some pretty shoddy health and safety practices , I think younger generations wising up to this and opting to work with computers instead might have something to do with that too.
In other news, computers are in vogue…what a shocker
Can we stop the infighting? If you’re on PAYE, you’re not part of the problem.
I can’t think of anything over the past decade, that could of made selling manufactured good overseas incredibly more difficult.
This is nothing to be happy about, look at the performance of Meta, Amazon etc. over the last 2 years, they’ve bled billions in value as people realise that during a pandemic, conflict, global financial crisis that pixel creations have little inherent value.
The UK needs to invest more into its manufacturing economy and companies need to start paying engineers more money to retain talent. Society needs to stop watering down the profession by insisting everybody who does something vaguely maths-y/science-y is an engineer now too, we don’t do it with doctors or architects so it shouldn’t apply to us either. In my industry there is currently an exodus of well educated, intelligent engineers who don’t want to work in the field when they can get paid 2/3x more to be an ‘engineer’ at a tech company producing little of inherent, measurable value.
I honestly can’t say I blame them in a society where the most lucrative job you can possibly get in your 20s/30s is playing with other peoples savings on the stock market in the square mile, our priorities for remunerating people are completely wrong.
