The people of which you speak are not in the right places and refuse to move.

Problem is as long as the welfare state is doling out the welfare bucks, they don't need to move. The conventions had so many great stories of people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, making difficult decisions that built their character, helped their families and made them who they are today. But the agenda of the liberals is to coddle these people with so many free handouts that no one will ever be in a position where they have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps again.

The problem I have with this article, it that it lacks details on exactly which skill sets are needed. Categories like IT, advanced manufacturing, and health care are way too generic.

Generic is the keyword. Your qualifications need to be generic. The cottonheads called it being a "quick study". Back in the eighties, the watchword was "learns from manuals".

Hell, the shop class is full of girls who have no idea why they are there.

To get properly and thoroughly tooled?
