Now if I could only get alittle service. Every time I go into CC, I walk out talking to myself about money walking out the front door.

The other day, I went to the ATM before walking into CC. I walked out empty handed with $700 in my possession.

Mr. Wood was the second highest-paid performer at the Jensen Beach, Fla., store, moving more than $1 million in computers and consumer electronics last year, he says. He earned $54,000 in salary and bonuses, and a place in the President's Club for top salesmen.

Well that's real smart. Good salesmen are not that common. I would start divesting my Circuit City stock.

FWIW, I went to a CC a few weeks ago looking for a car-tape player adapter for an Ipod. One salesman told me they didn't have any. Guess what? They did.

Of course, it was overpriced so we ended up getting it from Best Buy's anyway.

IMHO, this incident reflects corporate American thinking from the 90s through this decade.

We have become an off-the-shelf society.

There is no longer economic incentive to invest in one's future in the US. Higher education might enable the individual to perform, but corporate America doesn't value actual manpower resources any longer.

I know of no single profession where the professional is still valued by the corporate structures. This includes doctors in medicine, architects or engineers in design, accountants in banking and finance, lawyers in politics and legal professions, officers in law enforcement, PhDs in chairs of academia and even officers in the military are of much lower stature than even 20 years ago.

Unless one is independently wealthy, the financial burden of obtaining those credentials today is dwarfed by the risk implicit in no stable employment once qualified. Worse, those who haven't even begun or have any intent to become qualified are frequently substituted into the positions which pay for such qualifications. Go figure.

Such is the consequence of improving the lifestyle environment for future generations. The qualified efforts of the few are never grasped or appreciated by the society which inherits the benefits from yesteryear. IMHO, Speaks volumes regarding a deeper human condition and any system of works independent of God.
