@RABEL222,
So instead of a "good paying job" as you call it, they would rather suck on the govt teat? There are plenty of jobs available and there are plenty of good paying jobs.
How do you respond to the charge that people don't have the skills required to work some of those jobs? I work for a storage start-up, and as a tier III tech I'm also responsible in helping in the interview process. We have been interviewing people for job openings at the tier II level, over the last few months. You would be surprised by the number of people who think they are qualified to do my job. They think that being able to type, use the internet and fix grandma's computer qualifies them to work in the IT industry. You ask them about configuring VMware and they don't even know what VMware is...
Better paying jobs are a good thing, but if you don't have the skills or experience to get those jobs then you can't blame the company. At some point people have to take responsibility for their own lives and stop looking to govt to solve their ills.
