Our Future!

Over the last week I been thinking about what our future holds in these bleak economic times. The first thing that came to my mind was everyone's favorite book....Outliers. I know everyone has probably heard enough about this book to last them a lifetime but let me touch upon it one last time for old times' sack. So in Outliers the author, Malcolm Gladwwell, stresses that it is not the smartest people who are the most influential, but rather the people who have prepared themselves and are ready for when the next big thing comes along.

Now the world and the job situation is not looking good for the general public, the baby boomers refuse to stop working, Generation X has been waiting for their opportunity to shine the last 20+ years, and Generation Y knows they can do it best and should be able to just enter the job market as directors so they can fix all the problems. The only problem is this it not possible, there are not enough jobs for all these people. Now what should we do as master's candidates preparing to enter into the job market within the next year. I believe we are doing everything right, putting in long tedious hours gaining experience where ever we can in order to prepare ourselves for our opportunity to shine.

Think of this as my words of encouragement to you all, times are tough and it might not be easy working for free, but keep grinding it will all pay out in the end once you get that full-time job because you worked so hard working for free. LT21 we will make our impact just be ready when its your turn!
