I really don't know what businesses are still in our hands. My father worked for Texaco for twenty years, then moved to Santa Fe Drilling. That business was subsequently sold - lock, stock and drillhead - to the Kuwaiti government.

Grads can get jobs. They just don't like them. Nobody Throws money at them. Nobody rewards their failure. Mommy and daddy are not there to bail them out.

You need a bachelor's degree to drive a truck, now?

I remember some years back on OGR when Tony Lash (who made his millions in the trash hauling business) said he paid his drivers between 90 & 110 thousand a year.

I heard on Bloomberg this weekend that 1 in 10 line supervisors in US manufacturing plants has a bachelor's degree. They also said 90% of job-listings for line supervisor positions in the US specifies a bachelor's degree requirement.

So, if you don't have a bachelor's degree, it pays to lie?

I think you have misunderstood -- 1 in 10 line do now; 9 in 10 open jobs being advertised require it. The jobs are there is you have the degree. Lying about it will just get you fired - degrees are easily verified these days.

From what little I know about that culture, I'd say they are far more motivated to conform than we are in the USA. Can you just imagine the hue-and-cry (for blood) that would arise (within the hour) if all those African-American athletes, for example, who "took a knee" were arrested on-the-spot and jailed??!!!!!!!!!!! Can you imagine?!!!!!!!!
