Caller: Virgin Islanders capable of creating their own jobs
On the show that aired on Tuesday night, July 10, 2012, the female caller said she is tired of the unemployed Virgin Islanders who are staying home saying that they are not able to find a job.
“Virgin Islanders need to stop looking at others and their career, stop being complacent and do something on their own.”
The caller told Mr. Wheatley, who is the host of the show, that the people of the Virgin Islands (VI) possess the knowledge to create their own jobs. She added that there are so many people on the island who are talented in so many areas, but their talents are going to waste, because they want a job like their neighbours or friend.
“When I was growing up I was told that we are all given talents,so why are we always reaching out and depending on other people for jobs, when we can take care of ourselves.”
She said that everyone was born with a skill, and whatever that skill is, they can get paid for it.
“God gave everyone a mind, and with that mind there are so many creative ideas one can do to finance themselves and become entrepreneurs.”
No matter your academic background she stated that everyone should be educated enough and has common sense to form some idea and create a job.
“One’s job should be something they love and they are skillful at it. If you are not lucky enough to be hired, why sit around and make noise, when at the same time you can be doing something for yourself.
Before coming off the line, she said that people of the VI are too complacent and need to wake up and realize what’s going on.
