jimmie ray Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 But one thing to remember is that the majority of these jobs are labouring jobs which are not jobs that hold great appeal in America anyway. It's been the case in America that factories have had to employ migrants simply to get workers Your right - because the thinking has been that every kid has to go to college, and need not "waste" any of their developing years doing menial work. Now we have an abundance of very educated and unmotivated young people, with jobs waiting only in a few sectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmie ray Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Exactly. 40 years ago you got a job. Today, everybody has a 'career'. Or so they think. I'd guess that more college educated people wallow around in various fields they have no real interest or qualifications in, than those who choose a trade, for example.

Now you have a bunch of so-called degree'd idiots managing perfectly good companies into the ground on the sweat of hard working people. I will return with photographic evidence to prove my point! You have the fuck-ups of society running the ships aground do to cronyism, nepotism and the good ole boy networks and to add insult to injury "Diversity" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to succeed in your company manager role as long as you can just bullshit about how well you're doing and all the fabulous things you're going to do in the future. I mean seriously, I know people who are complete and utter crap at their jobs, seriously, yet they talk about themselves like they're the fucking aces and they always get the jobs.

It's the same here in Canada. Well, in British Columbia anyway's. It seems that the goal is to do a shitty job so you can recieve a buy out. Once that's done you just go to another outfit and do the same all over again. It's a nice little network thing that's going on here. Everyone is just trading flunky's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
