[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1303699, member: 24302"] There's a commentary on the oil and gas industry in Friday's USAToday that illustrates my point. As long as your logic is ruled by anger there's no way to have a discussion with you. Let's face it, you and I and many millions more aren't equipped with an education that will open doors for us. We have to settle, and often we get screwed. I understand the anger, but way back when we should have made the effort necessary. The best I can say at this point is look for opportunities to advance ourselves or grin and bear it. I'm not going to let what FedEx did to me many times over be the story of my life. They hold all the cards in their little world, but it's as simple as walking out the door and trying something else. Or putting up with it. But until we have a better economy where companies are competing for our services we'll most likely get screwed by many companies if we don't have skills in high demand. For younger guys you are in luck. Millions of Baby Boomers are retiring every year now. Soon there should be a labor shortage. Might be 5 years or more, but at some point companies will have to pay better because the work isn't going to be done by 70+ yr olds. [/QUOTE]
