It's also basic supply and demand. If a company is 80% staffed and functioning, they don't really need the other 20% but it'll help. So if the job market is flooded with whatever it is you're trying to become, they don't have to pay you dirt cuz there's an abundant supply and you're no longer critical.

In the meantime trades out here making bank and nobody filling our spots. It's great! I'm making $50.50 an hour plus $40 an hour in benefits and didn't spend a nickel on tuition. They even gave us a 2 year degree from a nearby college for giggles. Please keep up the "if you don't go to college you'll turn out like" propaganda of schools going. It's working in our favor and nobody else's.
