30=40 years ago, if you wanted to manage a restaurant or motel, you worked your way up in the industry. now kids earn a degree first then complain that Chili's will not hire them as a General Manager right off of the street.
You could and I did. It was a apprenticeship so to speak. I like many others started working in a hot, dirty warehouse sweeping and worked my way into the office. From there I worked my way up the chain. The pay was excellent, in many cases better than if we had a college degree.

Along the road somewhere, companies in that industry began filling spots with the College Educated who had never been dirty or touched a broom rather than the Apprentices and before to long these highly educated folks commandeered the ship and told many of these folks that they did a wonderful job, but based on their education level their compensation was too high....
