In my opinion, the latter (the former will work itself out). All these startups we're starting, we need to remember this when they start growing and maturing. It's a kind of giving back that benefits you, too.
The issue with most people is that "you don't know what you don't know", coupled with the fact that most still have the idea that college/on the job training will suffice, while many companies are no longer providing training.
It takes a specific mentality to take the time to learn a craft with little to no immediate benefit in sight--you see this in other fields too, but they're not the norm.
The question is, do we try to change our culture to generate more self-starters, or do we change the institutions that need skilled labor?
