: They tried hard to train the "working stiff" out of me when I studied for my Master's in Nursing Administration. Unfortunately, having been raised in a lunch-bucket steelworkers family, I seem to be untrainable in that regard. It has kept me out of jobs commensurate with my education. I wish I had answers. Perhaps when the supply of "human resources" dries up, and they need real people to work for them and make them money, things will change.

: Sometimes - just sometimes - we get treated how we present ourselves. Maybe more of us should stop acting like "resources"; organize; fight the treatment. Thanks, Ellen!
