Maybe people should work on their skills and keep their “tools” sharp and current.
In 1988 programmers/developers demanded good salaries. Nowdays the ability to program computers is a trade, at best. I can get a roomful of programmers for $5 an hour.
My skill is in determining WHAT needs to be programmed and WHY and HOW it solves the problem(s).
That is why salaries stagnate — people stagnate.
Exactly; I have to wonder, what kind of education are members of the middle class getting? Something practical or something artsy?
When I hear about saving the middle class, lately I’m getting irritated because I wonder, just what is it that the rest of the country is supposed to do? What happened to saving yourself? Or perhaps learning a solid skill?
A lot of people in the middle class stupidly voted for Obama, which makes me think that a lot of them are asinine groupies of the latest trendy cause.
