It is strange that some people tell us the economy is bad and the job market is changing for the worse, especially for young people. This puzzlesme. From my perspective, the world has never seen so many incredibleopportunities for young people exiting college.
Trends toward specialized careers and lower salaries leave economists and sociologists
fearfulthat the next generation of employees will be confinedto roles that are too narrow and thus not rewardingenough. Many say corporations are taking advantageof the labor force. But, no one is forcing our youth into such occupations. If a rewarding job does not existin the current system, they'll have to createit for themselves. The Internet has already answered students' cries for more careerpossibilities. The next breakthrough to create something truly creative is boundto happen anytime now. At the same time let's ensurethat students are prepared for the day when their chances are coming.
By telling our young people everything has already been done and that there is nothing left to dream about, we are robbingthem of the opportunity to create a system that is new and exciting, outside the confines of what is currentlyimaginable. But then again, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I shouldn't worryabout our youth at all. Their ability to challengewhat is before them and defy our unnecessary worries is their greatest strength. Maybe by telling them they can't, we are in effectencouraging them to create something truly incredible. All in all, the future for the young people is not gloomy; instead, it is promising.
