Maybe. It really is hard to say. But some of the people are in the situation they are in now because some time ago, it was easy to get by. You didn't need qualifications if you were willing to work. That's how we got people who are now in their mid-to-late 40s, with no formal education. And they're suffering for it because today getting a job just isn't the same. And looking at how it goes today, young people are expected to spend a small eternity in educational institutions, and finally they come out with a piece of paper which states that they have the bare minimum of knowledge everyone else in the field already has. So they have to compete against every other fresh graduate, as well as everyone else who's already got a job history & real world experience to boast with. It does make me feel that maybe my grandpa had it better. And no, he wasn't a farmer.
