I have two sons coming of age. I desperately tried to emphasize upon their brains that no matter what happens there will always be a need for someone to fix pipes, run wires and build walls and that there were ample opportunities for great success in those trades. No interest. None whatsoever.

I have a new great grandson, and his dad has just entered the workforce. I have no advice to give them at all, because my upbringing and knowledge base are so out of date. AS JHK has said it, the on-coming generations are going to have to wing it, reacting to a constantly changing workplace. I have read recently that Gen Z in Britain is favoring dictatorship as the preferred form of government. Have we wasted two hundred fifty years of republicanism?
If only evolution or God had given humanity the ability to have a generational or genetic memory. Humanity wouldn't have to re-learn the same lessons over and over again. Unfortunately, we don't live long enough. By the time the grand children come of age the grandparents are gone and there experience and wisdom of 8 or 9 decades is gone with them.

Too bad. Plumbers and electricians make more money than I ever did and I'm retired now.
