Members Newlife84 Posted January 18, 2007 Members Share Posted January 18, 2007 Then why go to college? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted January 18, 2007 Members Share Posted January 18, 2007 Can I just point out that today there are so many people with college degrees, and so many colleges have dumbed down their coursework, that a college degree today doesn't mean what it did just 20 to 30 years ago?

Members kevinmiller Posted January 19, 2007 Members Share Posted January 19, 2007 Did you know that experience and character is a big plus to getting a job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted January 19, 2007 Members Share Posted January 19, 2007 Do you know I always thought it was ironic that so many places want experience but they are not willing to hire someone so they can gain the experience? Did you know this is partly due to minimum wage laws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IM4given Posted January 19, 2007 Members Share Posted January 19, 2007 Do you know that most employers are so greedy that they do not want to hire anything but unskilled or illegal labor so they will not have to cut into their profit margins?

Members hermanj Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 Can you believe that my dad applied for a job and was turned down for lack of experience, but after he got a job and had five weeks experience (before he was laid off when the plant closed), that same company offered him a job? :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hermanj Posted January 20, 2007 Members Share Posted January 20, 2007 Can you believe that even more crazy is the fact that two of those weeks were Christmas, so he had more time off, and I don't think he actually ever "worked" but only did the training?
