If you want a job, you can get a job

[MilSpecs]

There is not a job opening for everyone. There are job openings for people qualified for the specific job openings.

There are also lots of job openings for people who must work for less than the profession would normally pay, because we subsidize companies so they can wait us out.

Qualifications are hard to get

Is that what you want for your kids?

Better than the anti-work ethic peddled by obnoxious parents who would rather see their kids taking government welfare while owing six-figures on college loans for useless degrees because picking a strawberry is “beneath them”.

Your kids aren’t royalty. If they have employable skills more valuable than the picking of strawberries let them demonstrate that by acquiring a job. If not, then your assessment of your child’s value and the objective and emotionless assessment of reality (the market) are at odds - point them toward the strawberries.

If only there was a way to make education cheaper....

Nah, make them take women’s studies before they can have their accounting degree.

And despite all aforementioned free and subsidized education, training and support given, there is always some reason why you shouldn't even try.

Never give up. That said, free and subsidized is fairly limited. Most people these days are serfs. Makes them even more desperate for those low, low wages.

Bullshit.

You're not aware then. You can mostly definitely get through college, or tradeschool from financial aid, scholarships, and or subsidized and non-subsidized loans. It's completely possibly at any age.

That’s if you qualify for subsidized or scholarships, and most don’t. I put one through 4 year and one through a trade school. We qualified for a massive $600 subsidized loan the year both kids were in. Both kids got some scholarship money, but it was a small percentage. Trust me, I made myself extremely aware.

Bullshit.

Actually, I'm great with them having the experience. Nothing wrong with it.

I sure and the hell didn't want to work in a Bacon production plant, on an assembly line, no talking, you just stand they and process the bacon. It sucked, but it paid the bills instead of me relying on my fellow citizens paying my way.

Most of us had shit jobs in the past.
That’s how you learned skills and paid bills.

Never occurred to us to just sit on our ass until some company arbitrarily decided we deserved $80k a year for obtaining a degree and finally paid us what we were “worth”.

There were 112,000 additional vacancies in the professional and business services industries. The construction industry had 68,000 more job openings and companies in the transportation, warehousing, and utilities sector had 37,000 unfilled positions.

In March, job openings were concentrated in the Midwest and Northeast regions. There was 1.0 unemployed worker per job opening in March. The unemployment rate fell to a near 17-1/2-year low of 3.9 percent in April.

About 3.3 million Americans voluntarily quit their jobs in March, up from 3.2 million in February.

As a result, the quits rate, which policymakers and economists view as a measure of job market confidence, rose one-tenth of a percentage point to 2.3 percent. Quits accounted for a record 62 percent of separations in March. At the depths of the recession, they made up just a third.

Cut the welfare. Gas the homeless. Get to work.

I don’t know why the work ethic by you is any different than here. I do wish the market would actually be allowed to work, though. Companies are being subsidized by the workforce towards the purpose of paying the workers less. Profit is skewed towards the top and is obviously not sustainable. Hence your suggestion that we continue our decline to third world status.
