 then there is the job issue. You can't get a job anymore.  Its really sad.  Nobody will higher you if you didn't graduate from college or if you somehow got a full time job that wasn't at Starbucks or something they'd still tell you to go back to school.  So instead they force us to school we go in debt for 15 years and we come out and get a crappy job but that door opened aparently and you can move up the pay scale.

Never knew you needed a degree to answer phones nowadays.

Pretty much the corporate world is telling people my age: "Don't bother coming to us until you have a 4 year degree, I don't care if your qualified."

My friend learned that.  He just wanted a full time job, couldn't get one, people wouldn't hire him, told him to 'go back to school' even though he doesn't know what to do.

Then when I took my spanish class last semester I was the youngest their.  Everyone was in their late 20's doing the class because it would 'advance their career'.

 Sure, you can sit at the counter and flirt while she makes you a chili cheese dog.

If you read the report it says in the future immigrants will be the only population growth. So going to go out on a limb here and say in order for Canada to survive it needs to reform its laws so that immigrants can get the jobs that they are trained for.  Having civil engineers working at toll booths is not good for the country.
