"The illiterate of the year 2000 will not be the individual who cannot read or write, but the one who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." Alvin Toffler "New Century" Jobs Perhaps the most important survival skill for the future world of work is a new mental outlook. People can no longer think about simply "finding a job." Instead, we must now learn to "create a livelihood." Kids & Jobs Career Planning "Career planning in the 1950's and '60s was like riding on a train. The train remained on one track and one could quite possibly stay on that track until retirement day. In the '70s and '80s, career planning was like getting on a bus.... one can change buses and you sit a little closer to the driver than on a train. For the '90s and beyond, career planning is more like an all-terrain vehicle. The worker gets to drive, has to read maps, and has to be attuned to the terrain, which could change from moment to moment." William Osher- director of success programs at Georgia Tech. Computer Technology Computer technology has had a tremendous influence on the world of work. This trend will not only continue, but increase in the future. Students must be aware of how technology is used in various professions and its impact upon those professions. This awareness will help students understand the importance of learning to effectively use technology to make them competitive for the more desirable jobs of the future. Change "It may seem easier for our life to remain constant. But change, really, is the only constant. We cannot stop it, and we cannot escape it. We can let it destroy us or we can embrace it........ We must embrace." Micheal Eisner- executive for the Walt Disney Company Perseverance "Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another" Walter Elliot. Imagination One thing that gives radiance to everything is the hope of something better around the corner. Dare to Sore The human spirit will overcome any obstacles in the way of a dream. Shine A great attitude shines like a light in the wilderness. Teamwork Together we can go further than we ever could alone. Courage Courage is taking the first step or a different path. It is the decision to place your dreams above your fears. Risk Taking When we accurately match our performance to our abilities, a base of information about ourselves is built that will help us set and meet our future expectations. |
