For eons, people have always had to change jobs, careers, etc...Change is the operative word. The other operative word is ATTITUDE! The words you wrote below could apply to folks who lived in the 20th century, the 19th century, etc.
Think about the typewriter manufacturer, and suppliers like ribbon, whiteout, carbon papers, etc. Or much earlier ...horse and buggy makers, lantern makers, barrel manufacturers, horseshoe makers, outfitters for gold rush prospectors, and oh, so many different periods of history, and so many different jobs.
People change and adapt with the times. Or they don't. The government shouldn't subsidize everyone, and most surely not just because they were making a much higher, and inflated salary before the bubble burst. And it did by March of 2000!! Ask any headhunter worth their salt!!! We ALWAYS know 6-12 months ahead of when there will be a major downturn!
The wealthier have become even more so, while workers quality of life is deteriorating. I'm not talking about over-paid workers or those with outrageous benefits in past but simply bank employees or factory workers. It's unrealistic to expect every single American to achieve college degree. |
