Ayyyyupp,, &, for some reason, they seem to easily get IN the system.
Some days I look at how things are done & I start wondering if there isnt
a plan for that,,
If they kicked out all the illegals and employers stopped waiting for the non existent dream guy ... and I'll give you an example form my field IT - I came across an ad yesterday - They were looking for Unix admin 2 yrs, websphere 2 yrs, sql 2 yrs, java 2 yrs, windows 2 yrs (which all can be concurrent except ... the mix you wont ever get in anyone with under ~8-10 yrs experience cos they are parallel) and a bunch of othe rcrap, all 1 yr ... and get this ... 30 bucks an hour, in Newark NJ. OK with 20 yrs of total experience I can tell you I didn't have websphere till about 8yrs ago.
Sadly I told them I am in charlotte NC.
I am going to look for a CNC machinist 5yrs, a motorcycle and auto mechanic 5yrs each, and a software engineer 5 years and pay him $10/hr no benifits in NYC.
If that sorts of crap goes away ... and unemployment drops to like 4%, we should be able to get more people off welfare.
Cool.
