Dad's day is forever gone. Therefore, the American workforce must be loyal to themselves first, then question their jobs, their goals, their education. Life must become a learning process that never ends. People must find security and balance within themselves and accept change as the norm rather than the exception. The worker of the 90s needs to become an independent problem-solver while collaborating with others to get the job done.
Every cloud has a silver lining , of course.
Gone are the ladder-climbing, manipulative corporate types. Those manipulators are replaced with business partners who must show ethics and integrity again. People who work with the organization and with the customer. People who manage their own professional and personal development. People who look at change as exciting and full of opportunities for the individual and the company.
