You are completely missing the point. Education is not the same as training. Education is an individual's own responsibility and mainly consists of fundamentals and generalities. Training is specific to what a company is doing or trying to do, and therefore the responsibility of companies. This is a cost of doing business that cheapos like you are trying to pass on to everyone else. Not surprising, you don't think you should invest in your employees or your own country, at least you are consistant. Like a carrot you dangle it out there with an increasing list of things you need to know to get the job. The sad thing is that if someone is dumb enough to pay for training, they will often find after they get the job that these companies are looking for certain skills because they have no clue what they are or have badly botched their implementation.

"By the way he lied on his resume. He left out more than most try to stretch. Unusual for a thirty year old man."

He later told me he didn't want to appear over qualified to join the corporation.

"Sounds like you got what you deserved. You paid zero and got zero back. This isn't really about money for you, is it? "

Did you read, "I hired the man on the spot and eventually sold the company to him.

He was promoted to General manager in two years, with a little assistance he was able to assume most of the CFO responsibilities. He was later promoted to COO. After five years in that position he came to me with the purchase proposal. Total time employed, which included standard benefits and of course drawing a substantial salary, 14 years, nine months.

During this time he gained three or four degrees and personally paid to go to at least three short term trade schools that I knew of. I reembursed him these costs in the form of additional performance bonuses.

The man made more money for me than I could have ever expected from any man who just walked in the door without an appointment to meet with me.
