^^even at your advanced age, you should know when to quit chewing on paint chips.
So no valid response to my post, just want to call names?

QUOTE I take for example myself, high school grad, some college, some tech school. Almost thirty years driving and I have flourished. Or my son, high school grad, turned down post school and he's doing quite well for himself as a contractor. My daughter goes to tech school, works two jobs and despite being hooked up with a sad sack that sits around feeling sorry for himself does pretty well too and has a bright future.
Most of people's problems are self inflicted, they decide to have a family too soon, they use drugs, they sit around and feel sorry for themselves etc. Opportunities are out there, one only needs to be motivated.
It is a world economy, one only needs to know how to take advantage of it.
Your examples are from an era when a person could reliably expect to be successful spending 30 years in a blue collar field, doing the exact same thing. How is that adapting and surviving? 
Imagine S.B., some day we too can have suicide nets around our sweatshops and brag about how we got rid of all those damn collective bargaining rights and health/safety regulations. We'll call it, "the Republican utopia!"

Don't jump IE, I would be heart broken 
My son's just starting out, he's doing great!
Some of those somali's I love to pick on are getting smart, they're forming their own companies, dealing directly with the brokers themselves. 20 years from now they'll "own" the industry.
For the time being all one has to do is work hard, work smart and life's good.
No union's needed or wanted.
