Occupiers need to value education, not money

  So we have young people, demographically 65% white males, often with trust funds, occupying Wall Street in protest of the loans they accrued in making their way through college.
  We've all heard that. What you may not have heard is there are jobs waiting to be filled, but that many of today's young applicants are unwilling to do what is needed to be hired.
  This article at the NY Post is disturbing. As one HR director says, it's really frightening for this country if this is the quality of the candidate submitting resumes to companies:
  Numerous examples of improper behavior, a sense of entitlement and a failure to follow directions are offered by HR directors of several companies.

  One young man wore casual clothes to an interview at a work place that required suits. Why? He was planning on cavorting with his friends after the interview and didn't feel like changing.

  Another commented on the "hotness" of the interviewer's photographed wife.

  Many don't bother to spellcheck, or submit resumes with phrases using text language like "u r" instead of "you are."

  Others don't bother to research the company or to completely fill out the application.

  All of this conflicts with the "poor me I can't get a job" mentality that we are seeing from the "occupiers" but certainly coincides with the feeble 24% graduation rate from New York City schools.
  Much of our educational system is failing us. If we concentrate more on building self esteem than skills, businesses will continue to be swamped with failing, entitled incompetent applicants.
  But then, many of those applicants H8T Wall Street anyway, right?
  Sort of a natural outgrowth of such an attitude, doncha think?
