"Container freight?"

What the heck is that supposed to mean? Is that your way of say oh well? Would you say the same if it was your job?

"It's the individual that operates in the world and their destiny is their responsibility, not employers, or the govm't. They can either learn skills that enable them to know, understand and do many things, or limit themselves."

Again I ask, where will they learn the skills to do the jobs and do you really think that companies will hire someone that has no clue how to do a job, just because they know how to "operate in the world"?

"Would you say the same if it was your job?"

You missed the point. Jobs can't be imported, or exported. The idea that they can be is ridiculous. My job and pay rests on my ability to meet the requirements of demand in the presence of the available supply. I recognize that.

"Again I ask, where will they learn the skills to do the jobs and do you really think that companies will hire someone that has no clue how to do a job, just because they know how to "operate in the world"?"

The point is that regardless of how skills are aquired, the acquisition of those skills does not guarantee income, or even a job. If there are a million rocket scientists and only a hundred job openings, the pay will be low. Since the brain power and skill of a rocket scientist is reported to be high, there will be those with understanding that are versatile enough by choice to compete in another field, or create their own niche. The same applies regardless of skill level.

Would you say the same if it was your job?

Not directed at me, but YES!

I cannot believe the union mentality that is invading the high-tech fields. "My job is sacred! It is my God given right to have the job I want!" That has never been true and is so much BS.
