AMD has lost their marbles!

There are people graduating everyday that dont find jobs.  But that is a strawman in this situation.  

People getting degrees or going into fields that dont have many openings, thats been a big problem.  Its still a big problem.  

It is nothing to do with "who you know"

I addressed both your points in earlier posts.  

1) These aren't degrees, these are trade college certificates

2)The jobs these certificates apply to aren't rare, they are common-place and mostly entry to intermediate level.  Plenty of them advertised most days.

People aren't failing to land these jobs due to a lack of skills or effort put in, they fail because of "who you know".

Not to mention quite a few companies would rather you didn't have any previous existing knowledge/certification, they want you to be trained in-house to do things their way.

That may be how it is in the land down under, but everything I've seen lately here points at a shortage of trade certificate folks resulting in better wages for them ( and more demand) then many university degrees. Skilled labor is in high demand here, if it isn't there you should move here.(and get 1070s for less than you pay for 1060s)
