The services industry includes Banking/finance, High Tech, Accounting, Tourism, etc. Isn't that what young people want?

Fail realize those jobs won’t be at pay scale in China, India, or any other 3rd world slave labor. When Average UAW here makes 70 plus dollars hour compared to at best 5.25 hour in Mexico and elsewhere.
Not everybody can be brain surgeons. There at least 100 million Americans that have swept under carpet got fat and too lazy to work when government gives them just enough to survive. A low paying job better than NO job. The problem is people who make decisions really never had to work or was ever hungry, and I don’t mean missing meal or two.
Another problem college education don’t really get you much anymore hundred thousands of college graduates working in the so called services industry waiting on tables at least few that will work? Course there will never be flat tax the would put accounting lawyer out of work cause one’s making the tax laws are NOT going to shoot themselves in foot and have to pay their fair share.
Then there one that get degree in running their mouth, political science.
