Now, did Mr. Ford encounter any issues finding workers?
I don't think say, or do you?
So who had the problem?

The over 10,000 men who left their houses in search of work.
Now imagine having over 10,000 people coming to apply for a job? He must have been picky. I'd compare it to the BB Naija audition process that thousands of people assembled to compete for a position available to only 21 people.

Why?
The higher the number of people interested in a job, the cheaper the job will become.
In 2020 the case is getting worse...automation is taking over the jobs from humans. Whether you call the job white collar or blue collar, the computers are seriously taking over your jobs.
The more advanced the world is becoming, the cheaper your job is becoming. Accounting software are taking over the jobs of humans, same applies to other categories.
Did your teacher tell you this in school?
Yes? No?
Oh...maybe he forgot or did they purposely ignore it?
Well, sorry to burst the college bubble you’ve been SOLD.
Did the college offer you any guarantee like 'Get a job immediately after school or get your money back?'
Lol...no college would do that anyways!
Now what is the important financial advice?
You can NEVER achieve financial freedom by implementing all your expensive college skills.
Where should you focus your efforts?
• Be conscious of the fact that each single kobo you'll ever make in your life will come from other people. Not from machines, your smartphones or that your precious computer.
Don't get me wrong, you can actually make money online but you must have to deliver a service or product to someone.
• To earn, you have to be focused on providing values. It can be a product, service or even an information. In all, you can only get compensated for what you DELIVER.
• Your followers or customers don't care about how hardworking you have or how many college degrees you possess, they only care about how valuable your goods or services are. The want to know about what you can offer and how it can improve their lives.
• Stop being focused on improving your lives, instead work on your products and services. That's what really matters.
According to Hector Quintanilla, the founder of DigitalAgeEducation.com, in an economy of abundance, nobody cares about your value — value is found delivering to other people what THEY want.
