The very foundation of the traditional path to success and wealth creation has come under serious scrutiny in recent years. More and more young people go to school, get degrees, graduate and find a job with some luck. A good majority go on to hope and pray for the day when they will receive a call for an interview or a dream job offer.
More and more young people are frustrated and experiencing all sorts of
What is wrong with the traditional route to success?
What perturbs me most about the dream that was sold to me and continues to be sold to so many young people is a dream that is unrealistic and super old fashioned. It is my understanding that after the great depression in the 1930s, young people were encouraged to go to school, most of which was subsidised. And graduates often had more than enough vacant positions waiting to be filled upon completion.

Remember when we were all on in a frenzy and completely unsure of what was going to happen during the global lockdowns?
More so, take a look ta the chaos the Russia-Ukraine war iis causing too? There are too many warning signs, too blatant to be ignore by young people who aspire to live fulfilling lives in this day and age. All young people have to wake up and smell the coffee about the importance of tech and why we should all be getting some type of knowledge about the way it works.
