    Hi Patrick,

    I just listened to the podcast episode with Dr. Jerry Lemieux of the Unmanned Vehicle University. While this might have been covered, I was left wondering about actual job opportunities in the UAV industry for the graduates of this school and others that are now offering this special field of education. Until commercial UAV activity gets going in the U.S, where will all of these people work? I’m assuming that the military requirements in terms of needed personnel are already being fairly well met, so this growth in specialized education presumes the emergence of new employment opportunities.

    To someone on the sidelines, this almost seems premature. While it’s nice to fill the pipeline with qualified individuals, I fear that many of these people are getting education for jobs that are well off into the future and that they might end up disillusioned.

    Indeed, how many of those $90K+ jobs in the UAV field really exist at the moment?

    Might be a question for a future podcast episode.

    Thanks,
    Paul
