Brilliance in unexpected places

" I cant go see a doctor, my job doesn't provide that kind of insurance coverage. > What job?< Exactly"

From the mouth of a mindless pink starfish to an irritating yellow sponge. Funniest thing I think Ive ever heard him say but how brilliant and true, especially in this economically struggling time. Jobs are hard to find now and its not for pure lack of. Its lack of quilifying individuals! Look it up: you look for job listings in your area on any of the job sites out there, such as Monster, Careerbuilder, Jobsnagger and look at the jobs within a 45 miles range and you will find plenty of jobs. However, note how many of these listings are para-professionals or end in the title I or II. Not entry level jobs. These jobs require much more training, schooling, licensing, etc. That is something sadly lacking in this country. Now where I am we have one of the highest unemployment rate in the state, at nearly 20%. Its sad and sickening! Considering I have one job, but need two to survive. I feel like Im robbing from someone elses mouth but I need both jobs to assure my children have food and home. It is a desperate struggle! And dont get me started on health care. The state of health care in this country is quiet deplorable but what truly can be done without costing someone money?
