The report charged, “The trend has perhaps become most visible in the tech industry, despite a lingering belief that completing a four-year degree entitles graduates to a high salary with flexible hours.” Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, said the company hires those with degrees, and those without.Nearly half of those workers, those graduates looking for employment, said in the survey that college “failed to prepare them for the 9-to-5 workplace,” the report said.

They also have no experience,” he told the Times.Other employers noted the lack of “confidence and maturity” among grads.Melanie Collette, of the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Project 21, told the Times said there also are problems with complacency, initiative, time management and accountability.Advertisement – story continues below A college experience, she said “may foster a sense of independence and creativity but does not prepare students for the rigors of the workplace, where deadlines are non-negotiable and expectations are high.” One analysis concluded it takes seven years to recover the skills gap left by a departing employee when a new worker is hired.There’s no need for a college degree or a traditional 9-to-5 job to succeed in today’s economy, charged Sam Kain, a finance professor at Walsh College in Michigan.IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Shortly after Hamas terrorists fired over 5,000 rockets from Gaza into Israel on Oct.

7 and then proceeded to attack the Jewish state by land, sea and air – torturing, burning, beheading and murdering well over a thousand people, including women, children and infants, and wounding and abducting hundreds more – world reaction was, in its own way, almost equally shocking.Advertisement – story continues below [For after the biggest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust, what followed was an outpouring of celebratory demonstrations, unbridled Jew-hatred, deliriously gleeful support for Hamas and bitter condemnation of the nation of Israel.Not just in the Arab-Muslim world, but throughout the Western world as well, including all across America.](https://superstore.wnd.com/whistleblower/) Why? What is behind the explosion of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, pro-terror sentiment in the United States, where Israel has long been one of America’s closest friends and allies? Why are hordes of young “woke” LGBT demonstrators marching in support of Hamas – when Hamas wouldn’t think twice about binding and blindfolding them and throwing them off the roof of a tall building – as they routinely do in the Muslim world? It turns out there’s one area of agreement that is so powerful, deep-seated and all-consuming that the vast differences between the deranged left and the murderous jihadists melt away into Kumbaya harmony.All of this and much more is completely exposed in November’s issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled [ISRAEL VS.
