More Than A Boost In Economy

It came across my mind earlier that one of the reasons why the Philippines is not that progressive is a very restrictive work qualification.

In a poor country where a number of children fails to earn a college diploma, it is hilarious to think that even fast food crews are required to have at least a college degree. Another funny things is setting age qualifications of not more than 30 years old! Come on! 31 is not that old not to be able to work.

I was wondering if anyone in the government actually made a study on how much percent of the population falls within such requirement. My guess is less than 50%. Thus, leaving a large number of individuals struggling to find a decent job. I am just not sure if the law prohibits such restrictions but the existing culture says that it is being permitted.

That is why I give due praise for the call center industry. More than providing call center services, this industry have managed to boost what other companies shattered… the opportunity for “over-aged” and under graduates to have a decent living.
