«We have been working
for the past
few weeks with our local employers, training providers and community partners to identify opportunities that will help us to provide training that helps
young people get the skills they need to find good
jobs.
When I talk to
young people who have just bought a house — even when they have a good income and saved diligently
for a down payment — they sometimes confess that if they lost their
job they'd run into trouble in a matter of a
few months.
During the recession just a
few years ago,
young people were graduating into a
job market that simply wasn't there; the national unemployment rate
for workers under 25 peaked at 19.5 % in April 2010 (compared to a peak of around 10 %
for the country as a whole).
With so many (too many) entering into the practice of becoming consumers» advisors in the real estate business, without the requisite practice; without the requisite background; without the requisite self - confidence; without the requisite detachment from the commission income mentality, it is no wonder that
people such as: the dishwashers; servers; factory workers; truck / cab drivers; teachers; office workers; in general, the
young and middle - aged unemployed who can't get a
job anywhere else (high school drop - outs) etc. types of the world (none of whom are to be denigrated
for their particular positions in the
job market... except when they think that they are qualified to become Realtors after attending a
few weeks of classes and memorizing answers to questions about which they have absolutely no hands - on experience with which to tie their memorized answers to), will willingly buy into paying someone else to professionally «augment» their individual «realities» on the internet.
