No doubt she means well, and I agree on the motivation point, 100%. My point is, and will be, that there are substantial resources available through local community colleges, which is why we pay tax dollars to support them, that provide academic and vocational programs to assist people in career changes from learning skills to placement assistance.
The "camp" atmosphere, on the surface, appears to be an effort to draw those like minded-similarly situated persons into a group, which often has the affect of isolating them or continuing their isolation among their "associates" rather than compelling them to blend into the training and workforce, which the community college environment does.
I am just suggesing to utilize the existing infrastructure and established institutions which have on staff professionals in the business of training potential employees and assisting in pairing them with jobs, when those same staff members have developed contacts in the job market to facilitate and expedite the transition.
Trying to re-invent the wheel is commendable, but redundant. The bottom line, IMO, is the same as the process of stopping smoking or any addictive/dependent activity, it has to be a personal decision to make a change and all the counseling, patches, meetings, support groups, "buddies," and "sponsors" have little if any help, unless the individual is ready to move through the process of modifying lifestyle and behavior.
And before anyone goes off on a tangent, I am not suggesting that "providing" is inherently addictive any more than hobbying is, the "addiction" may be more closely associated with the freedom of schedules and "self-employment" mixed with the ability to engage in gainful activities that will provide a better lifestyle than might be initially realized in the transition through a career change. The "pain" of "withdrawal."
