Do you think teenagers today going into adulthood (17-25) are going to have it rough in this world in the fut?

I know nobody is psychic, but with this current economy and all the advances in technology, increase in population, and everyone in the world today that is striving to surpass this slump coming up with unique ideas and ways to become successful and make a good living, the old fashion ways of how my parents grew up simply from hard long work, and getting a good education is almost obsolete.








Maybe I just smoked to much weed tonight. haha! give me your predictions!Do you think teenagers today going into adulthood (17-25) are going to have it rough in this world in the fut?
I still think a guy who uses his brain and has motivation will make it fine.





University education ain't what it used to be anymore, but it's still useful and a foot in the door for a lotta professions.





A guy who analyses what's comin and sets his career accordingly will probably do well. Obviously u ain't gonna do well in stuff like fast food, Walmart, or other low wage places.





Likewise, u ain't gonna get a good position in fields that are gettin overcrowded (like information technology is becoming overcrowded right now...so there is gonna be competition for jobs in that field). U need to find a field where there are fewer applicants and many openings....or predict which fields will become that way in the future.Do you think teenagers today going into adulthood (17-25) are going to have it rough in this world in the fut?
That the people who smoke weed will get confused, slack off, and end up working for minimum wage, while the people who don't will get a good education, work hard, and do just fine.
honestly, it will be hard for us. but atleast we know we will have legal weed in the future :)
Yes, it will be very hard for them (my daughter is 26). All of the billions of dollars that our government is freely spending will have to be paid back with interest. Millions of people have been forced to pay into social security and medicare and the government has spent the money instead of putting it into an interest bearing account. Now, after decades of paying in, these people will be applying for the benefits they were promised for decades. This generation (and the one after) will have to foot the bill for all of the runaway government spending. Yet the government is still spending.





It is like a giant credit card that this generation will need to pay for. To get an idea of where we are right now on the national debt and how fast it's growing:

One positive thing is that as the baby boomers retire (if they can afford it) it will open up jobs. But then someone will have to fund that Social security and medicare---that some one will be our young people.





Also consider the rate that private businesses are fleeing the US. We are regulating and taxing them so much that they are leaving for more business-friendly countries. Why would they want to stay here? Our society is the most litigious in the world. We ridicule successful business owners by calling them greedy and evil and then expect them to want to stay here and give us jobs. If they do stay, we tell them that they have to watch everything they do (don't serve coffee too hot) or we will sue them and crush their business. Then we scratch our heads and wonder why they're leaving.





Without private businesses, all we have is government work. Government work costs the taxpayer. The more government jobs we have, the poorer our citizens become (due to taxes).
