Now maybe because of those changes, some day in the future the province will have less rig-pigs, geos or exploitation engineers, but we'll have more teachers, nurses and maybe some research scientists instead. Sounds like a decent trade in my books.

No. What you're talking about is the complete lack of logic.
Nurses and teachers are all well and good. But someone has to pay them and the money to pay them has to come from somewhere.
Public services are secondary services. They are paid for via tax revenue from industry and the population. Take that away and they cant survive. They are not revenue generating services they are dependent upon revenue generating industries.
They can not stand alone.
NDP apologists must think economics is just magic. Do you know how magnets work? Or is that a total mystery too?
