No more apprenticeships. No more on the job training. Business should not be burdened with training people who fail to get an education. Either you learn the trade on you own dime, by your own initiative, or you can dig ditches, flip burgers, and continue to live in your parents basement.

Why should companies be required to train people when a college education is available to virtually anyone, and will be paid for at taxpayer expense.

And why would any corporation hire anyone when they can import low cost labor from all over the world, or send the work to a multitude of low labor cost countries?

This goes against the entire concept of free trade, shareholder value, and capitalism in general.

You’re assuming a college education “trains” people in any meaningful way for most jobs.

Because they still need on the job training.

Every company has their own way of doing things, their own software and their own product.

Even if you hire someone with a Ph.D you will not be able to drop and go.

And imported people need even more on the job training because they will need cultural training as well.
