Cheaper should not be the measure of better.
This is consequence of not bothering to put the effort in at school. Very few young people study and, as a consequence, limit themselves to the above "professions". The attitude is often one of, "The government will PAY me". I've confronted a few of these slugs with the reality of who actually gives them the money they get and they seem either shocked or totally disinterested.

If we want to improve the situation, we need to get smarter. Cant compete with slave camps on the labour front, and we are losing the edge on the knowledge front.... Of course, that situation is unlikely to change while we have short sighted num-num pollies who think that "coal is good for humanity"
