The Impact of Globalization

Michael,

Actually if you read the article, I think we're in agreement on a few points.

I focused on entrepreneurship in the second piece and suggested experience starting a business in that one.

But another misconception you have is that staying in school means a degree. It doesn't... I'm also thinking of skills training too. I'll bet even the plaster guy had "on the job training" don't you think?

I agree with you and don't think that "any old degree" will cut it anymore. Most are worthless or simply hurdles to get in where the "action is".

Skill building is the key. Usually "paper" helps you market your skill. At least it does in the US where contractors who formerly had no "tests" to pass are having to pass state licensing tests now and "studying" for that... in "schools" and "on the job training".

I wonder if you ever work with any young people on a regular basis to know how they give themselves an easy way out by assuming that they can stay dumb and unskilled?

I'll plead guilty to scare mongering... I do want to wake some of these kids up!
