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.

A lot of times when you lose a job -- no matter if you're over 40 or over 30, you're so worried trying to save your home and pay other bills, you don't enroll in a University -- no time or tuition money.

Age discrimination is rampant.

Not to mention un-provable, which makes it a very safe exercise for people like Enterprise Rent-a-Car.
