Schools and Their Working Graduates

                

There has been commentary that it’s no fault of the schools and colleges that graduates are so unprepared for the workplace.

                   

This commentary is understandable when it often comes from the ivory towers of academe. They find nothing wrong with their ability to produce a student who cannot stand on his or her own two feet on Main Street in an emergency, if they have to feed themselves. To make change from a dollar at a cash register, if need be.

                   

I personally ran a business with a payroll of up to 30,000 checks a week. At times I had to set up temporary projects with off-the- street employees, and have them trained within three days. But that was not with the caliber of present-day average school and college graduates.(See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
