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.
