Get Skills to Work

Good article....

Like any job, It takes an investment. And this investment can be experience, commitment, training or education. But with all of these there is one thing in common, and that is time. Nothing happens over night.

What I have seen in the past 20 years starting in the 90's. is that there was no patience for this commitment. It had to be immediate satisfaction. If I had to label it, it came from the Gen 'X".

It did tone down the past few years, but there still a lingering attitude of immediate entitlement.

Its not with everyone, but what is there I think is hard to change.

As far as transitioning from the military to civilian life, my girlfriend's son recently got out of the military that included a tour in Iraq. Being a mechanic, had a job line up in Texas, hours were long, pay good, he bought a house, but in my opinion allot was going on in his life. And he moved back to Wisconsin.

Talking with him, he felt that being in the military that businesses discriminated people that had military experience and had more difficult to get a job. I disagreed with him and did remind him that the job market is difficult all around.
