The problem, then, is education and retraining. Send all these people to community college. It's dirt cheap and that's what they're there for.

- fludlight 10y agoCommunity college as a 50 year old in Kansas gets you what? An $8/hr, 35hr/week call center job without benefits?
- j2kun 10y agoThat is the kind of negative stereotyping that we need to stop, now. Community colleges train people in most trades at a basic level, and they care more about your success in the workforce than most big colleges. I personally know many people with successful, fulfilling careers who started at community college. Maybe not stuff that people on HN would find glorious, but far better than disgruntled stagnation.
