Educators need to understand what jobs are available and what they are about. There are other high paying jobs going unfilled, e.g., toolmaker, because they are not understood. College instructors need to talk with business people at their worksites. Yesterday's hits don't win today's or tomorrow's games - must be flexible and willing to learn. Employees and businesses have to work smarter.
Workers have to be more adaptable in today's workplace, more confident, more resilient.
Computers are wonderful, but the basics must be there too. Machines are not a substitute for independent thinking. Certificate programs are wonderful. College needs to filter the idea down to high school and augment in community college.
