You overlooked the next sentence, what is wrong with corporations training their own people? In my years with Bell I received a great deal of training both while a telephone craftsman and as a computer programmer. I also did a fair amount of training of others. As a manager I believed it was my job to not only to get the work done but to develop the people on my staff to the extent of their abilities.
You talk of the cost to the individual but what about the cost to the taxpayers who built the schools and universities? Ouch, just did a quick calculation, we have in excess of $100,000 invested in Howard County schools.
