What professions do we encourage these twenty-year olds to go into?

Let's see - opensecrets.org they can either go into high level government - which I understand is made up of lawyers or become CEO's and milk thier workers and shareholders. These tax returns look better than average to me. Of course Miss Cleo made a lot of money too - and don't forget selling Vitamins dan Lapre style - he made a lot of money.

How do we help this generation make a career choice in this ever changing job environment? Seems like the only jobs I see are selling loans and cell phones.

you're absolutely right. our country has been hollowed out. the big problem is that a country's wealth is created by manufacturing things, and we don't do that here anymore.

I've told my 16 year old son that he needs to get the best education he can, and pursue subjects that he enjoys. hopefully, the rest will work itself out. outside of sending him to china, there aren't a lot of good alternatives.

Biotechnology. Unless, of course, your country manages to outlaw the whole practice under pressure from religious groups.
