there are some people are just not bright enough to do skilled work. they have learning disablities, fetal alcohol syndrom, slight retarded, etc. in the past these people were able to find decent paying jobs and be a part of society but in the ever growing elimination of these jobs, they are destined to be on social assistance for life.
the ironic thing about all this is, people want to take more and more money out of education, grants, scholarships, etc yet want everyone to somehow be magically skilled at whatever jobs happen to be plentiful at the time. you gotta get them educated while they are young or else, they're doomed. try training a 50 year old guy who was doing the same thing for the past 30 years. they don't take to it well. if society wants a skilled workforce, they have to help out a bit.
