Well, I know how you feel, until our current president, Washington DC has been waging a war on US manufacturing. I have lost 2 jobs to the Chinese. Not sure even now I would recommend anything in the Mfg sector to a young person either. Of course all the non-mfg people who I told to buy american said things like "it is my business who I buy from, etc." No support at all.... I think if I had to do it all over again I would go into IT.
