Aye, this is an issue too. But I was addressing a specific comment made in the article:

The times changed so quickly, and it didn't allow a lot of planning to come along with that." (made by a man talking about getting more education).

There is no way the education-industry symbiosis can address that problem. It is a problem for the politicians.

Out of curiosity, how would you solve that problem? I hear lots of ideas but have never really made up my mind on the subject.

To me the two issues are intimately related. The lack of jobs which provides the real basis for the actual learning seems to require a baseline of education. If the education is not there then there is a reasonable basis to question the ability to perform at the base level required and futher to have the prospective employee aquire the additional sjills necessary to excell in the job.

My personal persciption for this is contained in the following post which I wrote. Saving our Economy. I welcome any comments and I would only hope some movers and shakers in the Republican Party take action on these points.
