Flight 1438 to DFW: Keeping it real in my work space

My job is pretty much always challenging. Finding my job was even more challenging. It took just as much effort with very little motivation and no compensation. I pretty much had to teach myself all of the skills needed to find a job and then put on my best smile and clothes to meet the people with jobs to offer. And I was lucky.

Youth unemployment is a trending hot topic in the social stratosphere. Trending topics can be a tad annoying because issued are grouped with the other time relevant topics despite the subject matter. It is pretty normal for me to see headlines such as “Youth Unemployment: What is the Solution?”, “A Walk in Time with Paul Walker”, and “Justin Bieber’s Latest Hit” grouped together as the issues of the time.

Though, I have watched Bieber’s hit on Vevo and sincerely wonder if there can ever be another sequel to Fast and Furious, I linger on what youth employment means for me and others in my generation. After a couple years of watching my peers become over educated and underemployed, I am starting to think we should take it in our own hands.

We are young and resilient enough to bounce back from our mistakes and gain strength from the lessons in life. So, why not create our own jobs as well as jobs for others, and take charge of youth unemployment.

Have an idea? Think about how you can implement it. I’ll do the same. Let’s see what happens…
