I found one that I cam agree with! One from nineteen!

"Job training is the responsibility of employees, not employers."

For top wages I do believe that the employee should take on a large part of self-training, or you will work as an assistant to someone who is better trained. It's not your employers job to send you to trade school or college. If retraining is necessary because the industry is changing and your employer wants to assist in your training fine, but the main responsibility is yours.

I'm getting tired of getting the finger.

The immigrant lobby gives me the finger, they'll do what they want.

The homosexual lobby gives us the finger, they'll marry if they want and the hell with the law or the will of the people.

The rats give us the finger, they'll say anything, do anything to get power, and the hell with the soldiers and the lives they are causing to be lost with their sedition.

The Episcopal Church is giving me the finger. They'll consecrate a gay bishop and normalize homosexuality, and the hell with what I or anybody else think about it.

I'm getting really tired of being given the finger.

If you are over the age of 50, you could get trained up the wazoo, and you still wouldn't have a chance of getting hired.

Education is different from job training. Education is everyone's responsibility, especially parents. Job training, which many schools are switching to because more employers see it as yet another expense they shouldn't be burdoned with, is very site specific. School is for learning the basics, the fundamentals. Job training has to be done on the job since every business applies science, technology, business methodologies, etc. in a different way. There is no way you could learn everything you need to know for a particular job in school, yet this is the claim of businesses that seek to bring in employees from overseas. So, of course they are always going to be able to say there is a shortage of 'qualified' workers when everyone knows ther isn't. What we are seeing is nothing more than businesses lobbying gov't to make life easier than them. Instead of democrats subsidizing workers, we have republicans subsidizing employers. 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

In many jobs, working as an assistant for someone better trained is the way a person gets trained.
