re: #696 Alouette

Yesterday I thought how cool it would be to get one of those “green jobs” they’re all raving about. So I went to [Link: www.greenjobs.com…] to see if they had any listings in my area. Well guess what! It is all a scam. All the job listing are the same listing that you would see on Monster or Careerbuilder except the word environmental is bolded is the position includes anything “environment” related, such as learning how to operate a fire extinguisher in the workplace.

Give the man a biscuit.

How do you train people in “green collar” jobs, when there isn’t a mass market in building and creating renewable energy projects? Why are you going to teach me how to install a solar panel when only a limited number of people can afford or even want a solar panel in their lives?

It certainly is a scam.
