I can say that the same is true for the US!  People are starting to make their own way - case in point - I have seen a lot of "coaching" sites cropping up everywhere.  These sites are from those that are like lifestyle coaches and they seem to be making a very good living.

I also think that the same can be said for consultants IF they provide consulting in an area where such consulting is needed.

People arent in control anymore, thats what you have to understand. You can work your butt off and not get anywhere while someone who knows someone can get their foot in the door. It aint a fair playing field anymore sadly.

the same goes here too in morocco it dosent matter how smart you are or how good you were at school . if you dont know some one " a connection " you wont go no where.here in morocco people are killing theme self . the other week more the 10 people throw theme selfes in front of a train sad but its true.

Yes, you are sadly unaware of the conditions of others. It is not a 'work hard and get it' world. It is who gets lucky, and who knows someone. Usually, that happens to be those without the experience, training, or intelligence to do the job. This is not a world of qualifications, intelligence, or even hard work. It's one of luck, chance, and obnoxious people telling those who can't get work they just have to 'work harder'.

For you whiners

You are where you are today because that is exactly where you want to be.  

You make your own circumstances.  You put youself in the position to take advantage of an opportunity and when one doesn't appear, go out and create one. People who are lucky make their own luck

You will get what you want only when you provide other with something they want.  

I was a designer / checker for Koltanbar Eng. Co. After 33 years there I was laid off due to lack of work. So far for 6 years now no company no matter which one does not want to hire me in Michigan. It would be nice to have the state of Michigan pay for training to get into the IT business but they won't train me for even what I did on the board to the computer. I was 57 when I went to them but from what my case worker is telling me CAD or any other computer aid designing is still not in demand so they will not train me, so I asked about the IT business and I got the same answer. Michigan Workers doesn't work so they tell everyone leave the state. I can not.

Figures, sounds like something a 19 year old might say. If we could all just step out the front door and trip over jobs if we just look then wouldn't this be a wonderful world. Back to the real world. Lets see how you're doing in twenty years, after you've been out of work for weeks, months, or even years. Get a clue sunny!

The problem with the system is the fact that it is Federal money that is used to train people. If I had a job when I went to Michgan works then they would have paid for the training for any job that is in demand at the time but because Michigan Works could not find a job for me or for that matter I could not get any company to even call me for an interview it doesn't work. My resume has one job on it and when I take it to every work or company they say "you don't have what we need" or they are not hiring. Yes, I am still unemployed, homeless, and no income. Food stamps are the only thing I have and that's only $200 to buy food nothing else but food. At 61 I am going to wait for Social Security so you all you people out there keep working.

>>Man am I sick and tired of those who constantly blame others for them not being capable of finding work. I am sure you know a few them... You know the type...<<

As opposed to people like you, who only state the problem and fail to offer a solution.
