Being serious here, thank you for the vote of confidence. That said, think about why those jobs are moving overseas. The better jobs like manufacturing, tech help, etc. have been artificially overvalued here, that's a problem, people here want more than competitive countries and with our regulatory nature and those associated costs something has to give. All that said, if I start my percussion company I want to do it here in La. and with American labor, we(Americans) are the best, we do the best work as a rule, and honestly I would put my patriotism to the test to make that happen. But if I have to pay a person 300% more to buff a drum shell there is a breaking point. This is where the choice is becoming limited, rules from D.C. are automatically making American labor uncompetitive, I hate it, but it's economic reality.
Goes back to overvaluation. Is a tech worth 9$/hr. when a person in India will do it for 2$/hr. with the same competence?
I went from making an average of 15$/hr. to whatever the market would bear selling insurance, took a radio gig to lighten the financial burden, got burned out and am looking to get into a completely different field now. I understand what it takes to "make it" but also understand that if I'm not the guy in charge certain concessions have to be made on my part. The offensive thing here is people who are employees feeling entitled to the same perks as investors and management(their immediate employers) Disagree. Walmart has had a long list of applicants in every type of market, many of their district managers started by sweeping floors(Sam Walton's book), the fact is when you want to move up in a company you learn how it works, the internals, who is owed money, and how to best fulfill the mission statement. The employees who typify what an organization wants to be will move up, those who feel entitled will stagnate.
NO NO NO nooooooooooo thats a lie they tell you..that the job here was overvalued...Look LA can you live as father with two kids in a east coast state for 11,000 a year...NO YOU CANT and thats what a chinese worker costs some of the shoe factories that move to china...it wasnt overvaluled here...those chinese may be able to live on 11 grand...you cant use a pay toilet in NYC everyday for 11 grand a year....its all bull**** they sent those jobs to china so the pigs could have more and they didnt and dont care one iota for americans and their plight...but they are going to cut their own throat eventually...because europe isnt going to b able to buy their chinese garbage their broke...not enough americans are giong to be able to buy their garbage...and they will wind up making even less...china is at a tipping point btw...chinese owners have gotten smarter and greedier and are demanding more from our pigs..chinese workers are demanding more and shipping costs just keep skyrocketing soon it wont be a big financial benefit anymore for the pigs thats why they were pushing for the latin america nafta agreement...thats their next screw americans move to enrich ME
