US Tech Czar is not an Engineer

by bwrynn1 . Updated 19 years, 7 months ago

It seems that Robert Cresanti, undersecretary of commerce for technology, does not have a degree in engineering, science or IT. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Austin College and his J.D. [Law] degree from Baylor University. If he feels that more tech degrees are good for the US why doesnt he get one?

At www.workpermit.com he says “Having returned from a recent trip to China, Cresanti … “Virtually every senior government official I met was an engineer,” he said. “Math and science are ingrained. We’re a country of laws and men. They’re a country of engineers.”

To set an example for the country, I suggest he resign and recommend an engineer as his replacement. Any comments?
