That's actually what troubles me the most though. We need jobs for people who are clueless, because there are LOTS of them, and if they can't support themselves, guess what happens? Nothing good.

Factory jobs used to keep these folks indoors. Now we are growing a generation of young men and women who understand every handheld electronic device before it gets to market but can't spell and can't get any kind of job. That's bad.

That said though, it isn't all that easy. I have two degrees, an insurance license, 15 years of fast paced CSR experience, 20 years of office & retail, and it took me two years to find a job after losing my bank job in 2008. The job I found is minimum wage, very part-time. I spent two hours filling out their online apps, took a barrage of tests, went to three interviews, and trained for 20 hours before they put me on a cash register. I had to compete for this job, hard. Most weeks I clear about $70.

So, you know, it really IS bad out there.
