The problem is that the number of decent blue collar jobs is rapidly shrinking. Cities and towns that were once solidly blue-collar middle-class are devolving into second-world dumps.

Date: June 1st, 2012 9:29 AM Author: chestnut stage There's some truth to this.
My brother is a truck driver and they are ALWAYS looking for people with the specialized license. Most of the big companies (UPS, FedEx, etc.) pay a decent wage.
The bottom of the barrel kids at shit colleges should probably be looking at this type of work. But most think it's below them |

Date: June 1st, 2012 9:36 AM Author: chestnut stage Well, let's be honest here.
if you owned your own business, yes, your statement is true.
if you were a union type of guy, no.
at the same time, you probably won't be making six figures forever, unless you land something inhouse after biglaw. |

Date: June 1st, 2012 9:35 AM Author: kink-friendly cumskin Apprenticeships would be a good idea for the middle-of-the-barrel kids. Essentially, you work an internship with the first year subsidized by the government and earn benefits in subsequent years based on job performance.
Schools should also be forced to cap tuition if they accept federal loans. |

I agree with your second statement. |
