HughBeaumont's Journal - RW post on FB: The new generation of kids needs to learn how to fail. No, you're kid is not special.

(Copied that verbatim, BTW)

My response:

Corporate America is already doing such an astounding job failing our children's future that I don't think they need any extra help.

Think about it.

If your kid has a college degree, where's he/she going to go that an overseas kid who can get that same degree can't be imported here to do it for less (or they just offshore the damned job)?

If your kid isn't cut out for college (as many aren't), where are they going to go? There ain't any more Hank Fords rising up outta the woodwork, building them some factories here and paying their workers a fair wage - they have Malaysians and Chinese slaves for that sort of thing now.

For all of you "bootstrapers", people with Masters degrees are getting laid off through no fault of their own. I don't know, should it be their fault for not having an inexhaustible supply of liquid money to go to college continually with? Are we going to tell them they "simply didn't work HARD ENOUGH"?? Who pays for these multiple trips to college? What do they train for? What job do you GO to after PhD qualification . . . SUPER PhD? Do you need a PhD now to do the same job you needed a Bachelors for 15 years ago? What changed in that job?

I take that back . . . maybe they should fail . . . since they'd better get used to a whole lot of it when they get older. Unaffordable college, weakest hiring since 9/11/01, near-zero job growth in 10 years, what seems to be an ever worsening job market to come out to, stagnant to worsening wages in the face of an ever-increasing cost of living, no forseeable career fields on the horizon to replace the outgoing ones, no veering away from 31-year Reaganomics since corporate America and government are now one in the same . . .

Sing it with me . . . "I believe that children are our future . . . teach them well and let them lead the way" PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT.

It's amazing that I don't get defriended more.
