The matter of unwillingness to train spans all professions. Everyone wants you to have prior experience, and no-one is willing to give experience number one, unless you're willing to spend years at an unpaid internship, as one or two semesters doesn't cut it anymore (and still have to wade through hordes of others fighting to be slaves)

okay, now i'm injecting my bitterness in here. Excuse me


I understand the bitterness, but the thing that bothers me about not training is that the companies that  hire junior people tend to be better off for it ...

When companies hire senior people to do work that should be handed off to junior team members their employees tend to get bored pretty quckly, under-perform, and then leave for greener pastures.  If there is a healthier balance between junior, intermediate and senior employees everyone has work that is at an appropriate challenge level, career development is a fairly organic process, and everyone is happier.
