about college not being the answer for everybody or even for most people; JOBS are the answer, including bringing back manufacturing jobs to the United States.
The reason for the push to force people to "retrain" for jobs that don't exist is obvious: a huge supply of workers forces wages and salaries downward. A secondary reason to push for retraining is to provide jobs for those who do the retraining.
But there is nothing left for the masses. Not everybody can sell shit, and you have to have be a good liar to be a good seller. I am not good enough for that, and I am not one who can stand rejection day in and day out. Not everybody can do specialized jobs. And forget teaching because that has turned to shit thanks to the privatization mantra and No Child Left Behind.
There is NO substitute for a vital, vibrant manufacturing base, and there is no substitute for vital, EFFECTIVE unions to ensure a decent standard of living for people.
