the American workforce...is a JOKE

All the subjects that I am interested in seem to have no potential job opportunities. I used to know exactly what I wanted to do too, that is what frustrates me. If there was an apprenticeship system where a person has to know what they want to do by the time they are in 8th grade or so, and go into an apprenticeship, it would be ideal and it would be easier to get into a field early on and we would have better services with better educated professionals in their field. People in America are simply not professionals because they do not have a system like this. What the hell is with this whole "well-rounded" idea? Professionals are just that: professionals in their field. If you are good at everything, you are great at NOTHING! It is not just starting children early, it is instilling in them the want to do what makes them happy and balances out the needs of the community.
This way of thinking was employed everywhere many years ago. It kept businesses alive that are no longer in existence, to our detriment. We have no communities, we have only work ethic; no family, or community values. Apprenticeships drive home our need for other people, and personal learning interactions.
This society has doomed me with the promise that I can do "whatever I want to do and take all the time I need". Because, apparently, we live forever and have all the time in the world to live without a job and money. Living with our parents for the rest of our lives or just working in a fast food joint that is fattening up our citizens and contributing to the "bum factor" is not the way to live any dream; however, this appears to be the "American Dream". This is no way to live and help our economy. Move out of the country, learn how to live.
Thought for the day: what can you do to thwart the "American Dream"?
