Why don't they do what a lot of students are doing and get a degree? Once the recession has blown over, they will have skills for jobs that will be available. I agree with you, they probably couldn't create businesses for themselves; we aren't living in a Libertarian society (yet). There is too much regulation and control over business; it needs to be lifted so that the people with ideas get the encouragement and support when setting up their own company.

Question Adrian ... do you really think that that many people having degrees (gnu-Labour reckons it wants 50% of all school leavers to get degrees) is a good thing? I know I don't ... I genuinely believe that 1 or 2% of degrees (when degrees were "blue sky") actually meant something as opposed to now.

Yet you only have to look at various strikes in the UK to see how much power the workers have over their "rich" bosses. That is the idea of capitalism, you get paid a decent wage, and if you don't think your wage is good enough, you can either rally the troops or go find another job. Either way can be a threat to the company, as they don't want all of their workers walking out; it costs them money.
