    a large number of people who want the money but aren’t qualified do what we’re looking for.

    Sounds like these businesses should be training their employees instead of expecting the employees to train themselves.

    College is a great scam because it puts the onus of training onto the worker, not the business. And like good useful idiots, the average person feels pride in being taken advantage of in this way.

      One issue is that you can’t just take a person and train them. Not everyone will excel, so you want proven people instead of playing the lottery. It’s great because now only senior engineers get hired and nobody trains more of them, increasing the shortage so now they want to stay importing them.
