While they are a perfectly respectable group it can leave an individual with the notion that 1) school performance is all there is, and the 2) work in the private sector is not the norm. Very nice post.

There are segments that view work as some kind of personality shortcoming.

I think with the media and all the hype around super stardom that youth are not always prepared for the day-in-day-out work-your-way-up nature of work.

I think one positive thing about career-changers who go into teaching is that they have a chance to bring someone with private-sector experience into the lives of youth.

Too often the main working people that youth are exposed to are teachers and other government employees. While they are a perfectly respectable group it can leave an individual with the notion that 1) school performance is all there is, and the 2) work in the private sector is not the norm.

Too many people today see work as some sort of imposition on their free time instead of realizing it is the means by which they can help themselves, help others (no matter what the specific career), and truly actualize their potential leading often to financial stability, personal fulfillment, and self-esteem.

More socialism is becoming a race to the bottom. It sickens me how many people want to join the dependency society. More socialism is becoming a race to the bottom.
