Today's employers have TOO MUCH of a stanglehold on America's educational system. A little 'educational insight' into what today's EMPLOYERS want:
Employers, namely manufacturers, DON'T want employees that can THINK. They ONLY want employees that will FOLLOW ORDERS......without question. At least THAT is what local manufacturing HR representatives kept telling the school board where I used to teach.
That depends on the industry. A garment manufacturer only needs a person who can sew, period. The Boeing plants needs people with a little more knowledge because of the product they are producing. When the Volvo plant was hiring in T'Town , they were looking for people with college degrees for most positions. The problem with the entire NW corner of AL is that they hitched their wagon to coal, garment plants and trailer plants and all three are drying up.
