You don't want to go there. The public education system has created those 100,000,000 million people without the job skills to compete in a world economy. uh no. wall street did that. virtually all those people were employed prior to 2007. then wall street went crazy and destroyed the economy. or are you saying that, in a period of 3 years, the entire educational structure of the US collapsed and caused 50 year old workers to lose their skills? I am saying there were a lot of people working in jobs that don't really require much skill and making a lot of money. Those jobs moved offshore. If you are a "rust belt" auto worker you better move to Tennessee or Mexico if you are not willing to learn a whole new profession. There is nothing the government can do about that. Our universities give people a well rounded liberal arts degree with very little that actually has anything to do with what an employer wants you to do at work. Completely wrong. A well-rounded liberal arts degree is an excellent gateway for lots of well-paying jobs. You don't have to be an engineer to be hirable. They have business school graduates who don't have a clue how to actually run a business. Or a country, aka GWB. As you are complaining about, even an engineering degree is no guarantee of a good job, particularly when there is a kid in India with a fresher degree and all the new technology knowledge who will work for $10,000 a year. So, if that's true, then what's wrong with an English degree for example? It's much harder to send a job that requires colloquial American English skills to India than it takes for one to hire an excellent programmer in India. |
