Yeah the whole missing entry level job thing for most industries is going to backfire with exploding wages for experienced people. Without training grads and apprentices there's an ever decreasing pool of experienced people to pick from.

    Yep but of course companies don't care about it right now as right now it allows them to be more profitable in the immediate term.

    Yeah we've structured the system so companies are mostly only responsible to shareholders, and shareholders really only care about short term gains with their only liability from the company is financial. Companies are always going have a focus on short term gains because thats what the system demands.
