Yup, exactly. My point with the education is not to just get degrees for degree's sake. The big problem is people don't understand how money works and how to compete. How they must be their own business: get a good or service the market wants, market that good or service, negotiate for the best price, etc. And NEVER quit watching the market. Is demand for your goods falling? Should you add adjacent services? Are you over-extended? A minimum wage moves in the exact opposite direction. It rewards people for lacking marketable skills. To answer Dana's question about why a burger flipper should understand finance and mortgages, because if they don't they'll go bankrupt and then we all pay. We need their creativity in the market place and if we don't give them the tools to show up, many won't. They'll stay suckling at the teat of gov't imposed inflated wages until the milk runs out. Dana suggests your small business pay for the milk. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get Instant Hacker Protection, Virus Detection, Antispam & Personal Firewall. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=62 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:175107 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
