The Youth Of Today Impacting The Economy Of Tomorrow
One hundred years ago, most children grew up and went to work on their parents farm
, or in their store, or whatever line of work their parents were in, regardless of school or education. Fifty years ago, most children graduated from high school, got a job with a company, worked their way up the ladder until they were making a comfortable living, and often retired without changing jobs more than a couple times. Twenty years ago, most children graduated from college, got a job with a company, used that job to leverage a job with a better company, used that job to leverage a job with a better company, and so on and so forth until they either retired or started their own company.
Todays children are quickly finding that the path they will create will be something never before seen, mostly because they are graduating with more education than ever before with less jobs available to them than ever before. Where will they turn? With advanced degrees and educational debt in the five to six figures, most of them will turn their noses up at traditional low paying jobs.
The new generation of job seekers is far more inclined to turn to the internet in search of employment they cannot find elsewhere. Unfortunately, many of them do not seem to understand that while being a cashier at Wal-Mart seems undesirable, at least Wal-Mart is a multi-national corporation that offers benefits, whereas homeinternetjobs.com, Surveys 4 Checks or realwritingjobs.com are not.
Which is not to say that there are not any real jobs online that could be available to these students. The problem is in believing that you can bypass the hard work to get fast money. These kids, who do not have much real work experience and are likely still living under the comfortable roof of mom and dad when starting out in the real world, are far more prone to falling prey to the promises of little work and big rewards. It is, after all, what they grew up expecting to have when they reached adulthood.
It used to be that your early twenties were all about working the crap, low paying jobs, barely squeaking by, gaining experience and work ethic with little reward other than that itself. Todays kids somehow got the impression that in their twenties they would living in shiny new apartments, driving shiny new cars, wearing the best clothes, and drinking ten dollar martinis every night at happy hour. Blame it on television, blame it on the media, blame it on the parents - point your finger where you may, we will all end up paying for it in the end.
Because the choices of todays youth will forever impact the American economy. If they shun the few low paying, unglamorous jobs that are available to them in favor of homeinternetjobs.com, Surveys 4 Checks or realwritingjobs.com, then those jobs will go away, the same way previous undesirable jobs have been sent away from the American job market. And color it how you may, but less jobs in the US equals less jobs in the US, regardless of how you present it.
