This is nothing new. It was true when I was in high school in the 70s.
Ha haaaa! Joke's on you, Illegals! You came here looking for jobs but it turns out you'll have to spend your whole lives on welfare and food stamps.
Wait. Why I laugh?
Spot on analysis, although the true culprit is liberalism/progressivism/et al. Government schools dropped vocational studies and this harmed people. Democrat controlled municipalities fell for licensing and permitting schemes that further harmed the upward mobility of “blue collar” workers. Toss in the heavy tax burden of paying for useless government schools, services and projects and you’ve crushed the nascent middle class before it’s even formed.
Mr GG2’s son is running into this problem. He is very smart and a good salesman but no college degree. He is finding he cannot advance or even get some sales jobs he is overqualified for experience wise.
The misapplication of the Constitution and civil rights law has been the destruction of the United States.
I know a guy who used to work for me. He was solid trustworthy smart and partied too much, no degree. He buckled down finally and is now an Audi tech. Paid to go to school after school. Screw those admin paper pushing jobs. There are some cool careers if you look around. Most of them are fairly mobile to, you can live wherever you want.
My job is referred to as “help desk monkey”.
I started at an ISP many years ago and all you needed to know is the difference between “Windows” and a window to get the job. Even then I think they hired anyone who showed up.
At my present job they are hiring a new help desk person and I would not qualify. ** I am to train the person in : )
I read the posting and at the bottom of it it says: Frequent lifting and/or moving up to 10 pounds and occasionally up to 25 pounds
The heaviest item you lift is a piece of paper, maybe the stapler. Wonder why they include something like that?
