27% growth. No.. good luck to you. ;)

Of course the industry is big, but if that is so, then why the dismal employment prospect?

oh boy, surprise, surprise, for some reason your industry is on a decline. I am not kidding, that is the first time I have ever seen ANY job with negative growth.. even the most dismal of my employment prospects hold steady or are growing. So please, tell me again about your elementary-school-level of not being able to do a simple Google search?

"Automation at semiconductor factories, known as fabricating plants, is expected to grow, so fewer workers will be needed in this occupation." ROBOTS TOOK YER JEEEEEEYYBB... THEY TOOK HIS JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYB!

weird.. I have a high school education and no military background. If I send out my resume 50 times (the most I have done is 60 at once) I usually get about 10 replies... a very, very steady 1 in 10 response, if not more sometimes. The other day I sent out ten and got about four replies.. Maybe you have a bad résumé? I promise you, the economy is not that bad. Sorry you had to go to war because you cannot write :|

so why invest your time and effort learning the skills/knowledge of a dying industry? again, merely a poor personal choice. When I go back to school, it will be STEM or medicine (probably medicine) and I promise you there will not be a shortage of jobs on the other end.. because I will consult bls.gov tah dahh!!
