Unquestionably, we are in the midst of an economic sea of change. The well-paying jobs of the future will be in areas such as information technology, telecommunications, or other knowledge industries, such as education biotechnology, business management, etc. This year's State of the State speeches by various governors offer appetizing food for thought. It is evident that a fair number of them are making the connection between the new economy and the future quality of life in their states.
Technology is here to stay.
Knowledge builds wealth. People are the most important resource. There's no such thing as a smooth ride. Alliances or partnerships are the way to get things done. The location still matters, but now business comes to the worker, not vice versa.
