I've got plenty of skills and ambition. I don't belong to a union. I deal with reality. We live in a service based society, skilled labor is not required, neither are FT staffs. Corporations save more money paying 150 PTers than 50 FTers. It's the new businees model. You don't believe me, look at the want ads sometime.

But like I said as long as the Politicians, Lawyers and Corporate Execs are happy all is well.

Which group do the two of you come from?

My point is that the days of getting paid $60,000 to screw a bolt on a car is over.

The only place where you can get paid that kind of money for doing a Burger King level job is at the Post Office.

Skilled labor is always required, and if a person has a skill he will always be required. The jobs here are entry level. After an employee is proficient they will be paid more, probably what they are worth. If they do not feel they are paid what they worth they should move on, but do not force an employer to pay someone more than they are worth.
We are in a workers market, and anyone with any skill and ambition can find a job. Maybe it is not at the pay rate they want but there is a job for them. If they think they are worth more, then they should find another job, or better yet, start their own business. That is where they will find out if they are really as skilled and important as they think they are.
