Reality versus Dream -- Careers are Made not Born

Imagine a company that hires staff to obviously run, handle and/or manage "specific" roles and take on the associated responsibilities. Candidates undergo a rigorous application and training process to ensure that they are well prepared to meet the demands of the job. Once hired, the staff undergoes six months of on-the-job training. Staff are subjected to intense classroom and physical education that prepares them for their careers.

Reality? Most people hired today are virtually "thrown into the sea" to survive on their own. An attractive salary & retirement plan and benefits? That's a dream too.
