Seems like someone was listening....

We have the Union here training future workers to get into construction jobs.  It is free and funded by contractors in the area who come in and help to prepare the young to find what kind of work interests them and gives them initial training so the contractors do not have to put so much time for their workers to train these people.  Some decide that the work doesn't suit them, and that saves contractors money training young people who would never stay in the field.

I like what I saw in the short video, giving the young skills to help them out initially, an employer can actually give them a little better wage right away and skip the train in wage.  Of course, they cannot give a full wage, because it takes time for people to learn to work together symbiotically in a business.  But even if they get up to a year wage point, they are doing much better financially.

I could pay someone who had experience better than those young who had no previous experience.  They had a college program here to train students which the student had to pay for with student loans, those students believed they were more knowledgeable than the people at the mine that had years of experience...they got rid of that line they started for those students, choosing just a few to implement into their workforce that didn't have swollen heads from having a degree.

I worked with some people who had college degrees, they were convinced they were smarter than others, even me.  My IQ was in the ninety nine percentile, it allows me to see things that others cannot see.  In fact the guy who taught one of those things at the college asked me for advice quite often in building so he could teach it to his class.  He might have been educated in reading things from a book, but had no practical first hand experience at doing things.

I think every state should do programs like this and fund much of them and work with employers more.  But, you know how it is, overeducated idiots run the programs, people with book knowledge and little actual experience at things.
