Pretty cool article. As of last year, over a third of Law School graduates were not working in the field of law. There are currently well over 800k+ Americans with Law Degrees. People moan, bitch, whine, and complain over a scarcity of jobs and all they seem to do is moan, bitch, whine, and complain to Washington and beg their favorite politician for a job. IT ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB TO GET YOU A JOB. Go out there and go to one of the many vocational schools out there and learn a new trade. Better time will be made doing that rather than pounding on a keyboard to a politician or gossip site.

In last 100+ years they have teach you that ignorance is a virtue, so how you can change that? You can't, there is no way to do that. Your economy is based on the fact, that there is millions of of people who think that they doesn't need to know anything, just go to work in the factory and after work go home and watch soap on TV. In Europe it is a different story, here governments encourage people to educate themselves, and in many countries it is free. That's why even our street bums can point different countries from the map, can talk more than one language, can read and write etc. Vocational education is good to have, because no one hires guys without it. Here we need to get job done, we don't have the time to teach anybody basic skills by the work. For example, when I was working in the metal industry, over the years I teach my occupation to 12 new guys just because there isn't any school for the job. Every one of them did have vocational education for metal work, but that wasn't enough. In that kind of work you have to know welding, milling, grinding, you have to be able to use lathe, different presses and industrial robots, you have to have basics of electronics, computers and metallurgy to successfully reach you goals day by day. It take over a year to teach a guy all this, even he has basic education for the metal work. If he hasn't, it take five to six years to teach all this by the job, and who will pay for it? It is far better to learn basic skills in school, because no one hire a guy who you must teach everything.
