Am I the only one who is tired of the late night commercials for technical schools that promise a fast and easy “degree” and a guaranteed job as soon as you finish their courses? I know that dozens of people here are “degreed” and “certified” and they cannot find a good job. By good job, I mean a full time position in an acceptable environment. With benefits and a reasonable expectation of being able to continue working there for a long time.
I don’t care if they schools have placement assistance. Its hard to find a job right now and if you don’t have any skills or training, it is even harder. THAT is what they should be telling young people – you need more than high school to get a job. So get trained in something so you have some skills to offer.
