Basically so that you can compete in the job market and get a job. If you do not learn computer skills then you will not be likely to find a good job.

First, the Manpower Training and Development Act, to stop the waste of able-bodied men and women who want to work, but whose only skill has been replaced by a machine, or moved with a mill, or shut down with a mine; \nSecond, the Youth Employment Opportunities Act, to help train and place not only the one million young Americans who are both out of school and out of work, but the twenty-six million young Americans entering the labor market in this decade; and \nThird, the 8 percent tax credit for investment in machinery and equipment, which, combined with planned revisions of depreciation allowances, will spur our modernization, our growth, and our ability to compete abroad.

The reason that young adults (17 - 23) find it difficult to find employment is not because of age discrimination. Its because they have less experience. Generally, employers are looking for some one with experience who can pick up the job quickly and require minimal training. Its got nothing to do with manners or laziness(older people can have bad manners and be incredibly lazy as well you know) People in the younger age bracket tend to be more recently qualified and there are only so many trainee positions available.

I really believe in the future we are not going to have a shortage of college educated, degree holding, psychology majoring, individuals in this country....and there is nothing wrong with that...but a shortage of well trained and qualified mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, hospital workers, etc....supply and demand will dictate the degree of compensation. Our manufacturing industries are all but lost due to so many factors that would take hours to talk about, and that is sad. I agree with you, we need revamping of the system.....from the top down.

I believe most people rely on consulting or counseling with peers or adults they trust to give sound advice, based on fair opinions or personal experience, and with honesty and respect. No matter how negative or confusing certain choices or situations may be, by asking questions and sharing thoughts or experiences with others, anyone, can make more informed, responsible decisions that they are comfortable with both emotionally and logically.\n\nThis is especially important for young adults, who are learning to make decisions independently, while emotionally and socially influenced by peers and their growing perceptions of society.\n\nOf the cases where young people make poor decisions, many involve going along with misguided peers.  If the people had talked their plans over with others, they might have avoided trouble later.

If it were me, I would look at countries with a high population that do not have adequate transportation.  More countries are expanding and you're going to have needs there as more and more people join the workforce.  What you need to do, is research to identify what countries, what their needs are and how your company can supply those needs, in a profitable manner.

it's to make you a well-rounded individual with some knowledge in all areas. It's not really the actual knowledge that is important, it's the mechanics of learning that knowledge that is important. Learning how to meet deadlines, do a task, memorize things, understand concepts, studying, all those things that are needed in any workplace.

First you need to project 10 years into the future. The U.S. economy has fast become a service and technical one, list the jobs that fit the future service and tech areas in the general locale that you will probably reside, it isn't always about money, you might want to be some where that brings you fulfillment but means a few less dollars, also consider the cost of living in the area. In this scenario, technical school is a must, unless you think you have some special skills that don't require schooling,e.g., tattoo artist, construction, friends in a business that uses apprentices; sometimes it's who you know.

I don't think they really know what they're doing. They study 'coz their parents told them to do so. Then they look for job 'coz everyone does that, then they study more becoz they couldn't find any job. Simple. This happens to anyone who doesn't know what they're doing, not just young students.

Yes and No. Because there are variables like unemployment and the job pool of qualified applicants. If the job is very technical and requires special skills or training it will be harder to fill those positions. If the position requires no special training or skills then planning for the long term will help to fill vacancies quickly.
