UK's elite hardware talent is being wasted.
                
                
                Examples of wasted potential:
    Sarah: Built a fusion reactor at 16. Now? Debugging fintech payment systems.
    James: 3D-printed prosthetic limbs for A-levels. Today? Writing credit risk reports.
    Alex: Developed AI drone swarms for disaster relief at 18. Graduated with top honours from Imperial. His job? Tweaking a single button's ergonomics on home appliances.
These aren't outliers. They're a generation of engineering prodigies whose talents are being squandered.
This isn't just wage disparity. It's misallocation of human capital on a national scale.
