Man, that stinks.  Companies are so unwilling to train new employees nowadays. While schools continue to say that you'll learn important skills "on-the-job", companies expect people to come out of schools already trained.  There's this stupid gap that no one's willing to fill, and it becomes an unreasonable expectation on us, the prospective employee.

Well I'm not going to give you any job advice unless you want me to, since I'm sure everyone else you've talked to have probably said more or less the same things.  If you need to vent some more, feel free to do so.  Use this as an avenue for escape and release.
