What's up,
Within this blog and along with many others, there has been talk about how the Millennial generation and recent college graduates will be unable to get their dream career that they have always wanted post-graduation. Additionally, the negative effects of the economy has caused the Millennials to not be able to graduate because of external social issues like being unable to pay for their schooling or not being able to pay off their school loans has caused people to even drop out of college. I am no doctor, but there is hope...
I was forwarded an news article from the New York Times entitled, "Data Reveal a Rise in College Degrees Among Americans." This is good news because as the "old" jobs are phasing out of our generation, that means that new ones are emerging and being created by people who are considered Millennials.
The numbers show that,
"Last year, 33.5 percent of Americans ages 25 to 29 had at least a bachelor’s degree, compared with 24.7 percent in 1995, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. In 1975, the share was 21.9 percent. The number of two-year college degrees, master’s degrees and doctorates has also risen recently."
This means that as more people graduate from college, there will be more higher-paid jobs for us. However, in order to create and establish these 21st century jobs in the digital age, we need to create a way to create a 21st century education that will enable Millennials to have the professional capacity and skill sets that will enable them to create these jobs.
For those people who are antsy about employment, just wait because your job hasn't been created yet.
