It is the lack of will of Americans to educate themselves in new career fields. It's not so much lack of will --- and obviously going to college forever is a wonderful idea --- but many people are working 50-60 hours, they're trying to get bills paid, kids raised, maintain their homes, enjoy a little of their lives --- finding 20-30 hours a week to attend classes and study isn't as easy it might sound for everyone to do.

If they're already working, then they aren't part of the outsource-driven unemployed, I should think. When/if they lose that job, class time opens up. Unless, of course, they are over say, 45, in which case they're too old to get a job regardless of what they know. Age discrimination is rampant.

I do it every week. I am in the military, I work 50 hours a week. I am getting my Master's degree. I have an 11th month child. I will succeed, and care little for those who do not. I thought this was a conservative website, but maybe I was wrong.
