Let me point out something else guys...
When I got out of college, I went to work for John Deere, took sales on a territory from 7 to 23 million in 6 years, that's wholesale dollars by the way...
When touring one of our factories in the midwest I was a bit shocked to find out that after 4 years of college, a year and a half in training, 4 years in the service department and finally making it into sales the average factory worker made more than I did and they had a high school education...
Perhaps the American worker priced themselves out of a job???
