Relax, You're Future is Secure, LOL
"India has more honor students, right now, than America has kids. The top 10 in demand jobs in 2010 were not even invented yet in 2004. Most people today will have between 10 and 14 jobs by the time they are 38. One in four workers has been on the job for less than a year. "The amount of unique information generated next year alone will be more than has been generated in the last 5,000... (posted by e 8 days 5 hours ago.)

An Allegory - The Donkey and the Elephant
