an oversized unit will not remove adequate moisture

corporations recruit for workers at college campuses all the time. setting up interviews, taking resumes, trying to woo the fresh graduates to their reputable establishment. all this is fine and dandy, but why wait til they graduate college to get them?

starting the beginning of senior year of high school (after most standardized testing is over and most students have a vague idea about what to do), companies should be looking to recruit people to work for them when the kids graduate college.

how do you get a kid to sign on? easy, pay for college in return for a few years of work. indentured servants? i say toe-may-toe, you say toe-mah-tah.

find out who wants to be electrical engineers, computer science guys, or management. give them some tests, some interviews, a little try-out, and then if you like them, bam! give them an offer.

give a list of acceptable colleges that offer programs for what you want the kid to do. let him apply and get in where he wants and the company picks up the tab. the kid then works for the company for 10 years afterwards.

throw in clauses talking about them dropping out, failing out, changing majors where they have to pay back the company all expenses from said college education at pretty high interest rates (25-30%) so no one actually drops the program.

it's like a professional draft. you're good in high school, so they pick you, send you to the minors (college) and you get a phatty big league deal (the 10 year payback) then you're a free agent after the first contract and can go to whatever team (company or industry) you want.

it's guaranteed employees in their early 20s when they are easier to work 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. probably no kids, not many health problems, definately no college loans. they are all yours. it's great.

one problem is if the signing age gets younger and younger and parents start signing away kids still in the womb in order to pay for college. GE probably won't want that electrical engineer if he ends up scoring a 850 on his SATs. unless he's a good artist, then they could put him in the marketing division. see? it will all work out. or it won't and everyone will be miserable.

(by the way, it'll be easier for a marxist revolution if we can create extremely unhappy working class. viva le revolution!)
