So you think the employment situation is good? That it cannot be improved?
"Accelerate training to help workers transition to good-paying jobs in high-demand and emerging fields..." is not a good idea? What about health and sciences? Engineering? What are we training our youth to do? Where will they go to school to become their dream? Where will they get a job to fulfill it? Here? What happens to workers when they are too old or have a disability that prevents them from doing many of the jobs available? What if they don't have a constuction talent?

Once again you assume that everyone who works construction hates it and would rather be a doctor or lawyer. Obviously some people enjoy there "menial jobs" otherwise houses would be falling down all over the place due to people who had no alternative doing a crappy job.

If I only had a brain!

Well, I have a stake in this. I do need some underpaid zombie to pour my scotch for me. I can't allow 'them' to escape and all become NASA scientists...do you know what that will do to the price of scotch?!;-)

(*SNORT!SNORT!*)

Hopefully with a good book or script to read.

The employment situation is good for where you are.....A TOURIST TOWN AT THE BEACH!!!! If you want what you call a "real job" why don't you move to a more metropolitan area, where they have "real jobs". I am curious, do you clean your own rentals or do you hire some of the brainless people to do the cleaning for you?

My undergrad is in Philosophy. I learned to dig holes on the job, not because I had a talent for it.

I have to go to a rehearsal now. The musical director for the show I'm doing just finished at Georgia Tech in Electrical Engineering. Now he's back in school getting a Theatre degree. Maybe I should let you pick his brain.

Dig a little deeper there Ms Florida.....

I find it musing that your profile states your occupation is an owner of low income rentals, yet you imply that the same folks that feed you don't have a brain....


Don't bite the hand that feeds ya.....

Actually, my occupation as the owner of low income rentals uniquely qualifies me for this statement. These people are doing the best they can, with what is available. Many are struggling to survive in this environment and seem to be ignored by those who could help. Trying to support a family without much opportunity to increase their wage is very difficult. They support my efforts to try to bring a better life for all citizens, not just the elite few.

Hey ease up on Florida girl
I think she was trying to say we need more jobs that require more skill and working knowledge which requires more training,but also usually translates into more income so a family can survive on it and still have a house and car and health insurance ect,ect. maybe a poor choice of words by her but do you always want to be a busboy,dishwasher,or other low paying non challenging job or say would you rather be a chef,manager or business owner which all require more knowledge and training. Dont get me wrong i have worked 2 and 3 low paying jobs at a time and i busted my butt just to make ends meet. most blue collar workers work as hard or harder than the big boy's. but dont get near as much pay

Maybe and probably so - but what a way to go about it!

I do most certainly clean and maintain my own rentals. I also do all the remodeling and repairs associated with them. And yes, I do have a talent in construction. But I would also like to see more than that.

At least you get to have a college education, and after you're finished, then what are you going to do? Dig ditches? I've met many in SoWal that have college degrees and can't get a job in their field here, and end up framing houses, or going back to where ever they came from.
