    The old dilema applies today more than ever. Can't get work without experience, can't get experience without work...now it's called a "skills gap". What "solutions" will be proposed?
    Same as always, get your foot in the door any way you can and make yourself valuable. My experience is limited to construction and I think you folks are talking about other fields. In my experience there is always a spot at the bottom but maybe not in what you're talking about.

    Even at Starbuck's, they want you to have experience...

    The message is not that business are really looking for the skilled American Worker in most cases. It's the message they give to the media as their excuse for automating or moving to Mexico or China. Probably feeling this is how best to streamline the company while serving their stockholders.

    After a point, the last thing they want is lots of legit qualified candidates showing up and confusing the plans already laid out to shrink the company.

    To be fair, I don't think most companies are like this, but enough are to send confusing messages to Americans who actually do want to train up either to work manufacturing or attending these Code Bootcamps thinking they can crank out Javascript all day.
