> I have received lots of "free" stuff and welfare along the way, both for nothing and for the promise of educating myself. The first is dead wrong, the second is the deal breaker to me. Why is getting welfare for the promising of educating yourself a deal breaker for you? |

This brings my thoughts to the second and more important aspect of the labor market. Recently there was an article here about Spain and how it had 5 million unemployed people and still the economy lacked the needed workers. And what's the response of the socialists there? Give more welfare to the people. That's just not adequate. They are hoping that the people will educate themselves but let's just see how that would develop and just few percent of them will study and fill in the labor gap. Governments should seek and demand from the people to study in exchange for that welfare money.
Last point may be only that education is highly correlated with the income and breaking out of poverty, but that's something we all know. And besides education, what else can welfare do to help you find a job?
P.S. I hope I am not the only one who is totally disregarding the claim that automation will eat out all the jobs. There has been written so much about this and we all know the problem is not there is less business to do nowadays, the problem is is harder to find the qualified workers.
