create these "temp" jobs to avoid paying full salary and providing more
secure employment. You no longer have a _career_ but a string of low
quality experiences that actually do nothing but dirty up one's CV. After
half a dozen, prospective employers don't even look at these guys any
more. Then they end up as taxi drivers, bus drivers, etc.
That was very true 5 to 10 years ago... even the idiots bodyshops
hired to man the the agencies would ask sarcastically 'whats with ALL
those jobs'.... stunningly ignorant those folks.
Better to paint your face a darker color, learn a fake Mexican accent (or Indian accent), find some fake ID, pay a hacker to put INTO the databases the evidence that you have the credentials you say you have on your resume...and you'll do OK.
I took many projects deliberatey to gain broad experience and learn
new ranges of technical applications etc. that has been quite
valuable, I can see solutions others cannot in many cases...
however as you folks have been pointing out, none of that is saleable
or valuable in the current 'job' market....
What THEY want is CHEAP and YOUNG and EXPLOITABLE warm bodies. The rest of us can eat crow.
Fortune mag, May issue has a one page article on america's attitude
toward education..its being trashed, parents are increasingly calling
school administrators to complain about attempts to teach little
johnny algebra 'what does he need *that for'...and of course its that
parent who is old enough to work for a company and drive its hiring
policy.
2 year school programs will be better for most.
the article points out how this will bankrupt the US in dire terms.
If it had gone on to explain how letting 20 million uneducated aliens
will affect the nation, as these are authorized to bring in their
families, for a total of 40 or 50 million, as more than that many
educated american middle class retires...the picture gets dim indeed.
There are studies to show they eat up more services than the money they save their employers.
thats a net 100 million or more change to the negative in the total US
work force. (168 million).... without the US middle class breeding
even to replacement levels, but with the uneducated folk, who today
statistics show drop out of school at the highest rates, breeding at 2
or 3x replaement rates.
I want to know who is going to pay these ridiculous tuitions when kids won't be able to get those $100K loans any more, and won't get good jobs to pay off those loans.
graph that sometime
woiking for oneself however the experience is valuable.... a person
can get into the 50 to $150/hr range... more like 50 or 75/hr though
by those means... of course a self employed car mechanic rate is $85
to $100/hr...+profit on parts.. (lasting until we get 40 million new
folk witih no education in the US, car repairs will go for what it
takes to pay rent and buy food).
I've talked about this from about 2-3 years ago and on back to 5-7 years ago.
Apparently in the US as its currently set up, education is not
actually valuable (on the short term)... we can live off of
established technology until the chinese/ indians surpass us, then no
problem.... we can simply buy what we need from them.
we are a nation run by idiots.
No kidding!
in the final analysis its better to stay educated,
Preferably, as Mark Twain said, without schooling.
you dont get a
blank look on your face that way, and as you age your brain stays
stable...with no education it turns to mush at warp speed.
Mother nature always has a perfect solution.
Darwinian survival....or not.
