She said to go back to community college and not expect to work at corporations for longer than 2 years at a time. Wow. This is horrendous information coming from her. IMHO.

We are expected to job hop our entire lives and attend community college to "retrain" every few years.

She also stated: "jobs recently eliminated are not coming back."

I immediately thought of Redd Foxx when I saw that thread title. Old Redd said people keep telling him to go back to Africa and his answer was always "I can't go back, I have never been". I have that same problem with community college, I have never been so I can't go back.

I'm not sure what the problem is.
Should we be guaranteed a job for life?

That is what happens when you have people that have had it handed to them on a silver diversity platter all their lives. “For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country,” she told a Milwaukee crowd today, “because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”

2 years is but a fraction of your life: I guess you work for her public relations office.

What a classy, intelligent, inspiring women that Michelle is. Her words and actions are so useful. Not.

Last week there was report out the Community colleges may be the best place for the unemployed to get skills to re-enter the workforce fast.

Ms. Obama is simpling parroting this report.
Really, what experience does Michelle have on this topic?
