We need to begin with a far better school system--one in which teachers are paid well and schools compete for top talent, and those stellar teachers are trained in helping people explore their interests and nurture their talents EARLY.
[I'm inching closer to . . . being out of the middle-age category every day, and I still don't have an f'ing clue what I would REALLY enjoy doing for a living. But I can look back on my behavior as a kid, things I was drawn to, and list 10 different things I should have studied and which would have all led to satisfying and lucrative careers. Unfortunately, NO ONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION, and I was a girl, so what I was supposed to do for a living was get married and have kids, right? But I digress into my own personal death spiral, again.]
People need help in figuring out what's going to work for them as a career, but bottom line is everyone needs to work in order to live. We all appear on this planet through no action or will of our own, and then are expected to be grateful and pitch in to earn our right to continue living on said planet or we get to die of starvation and exposure. Nice. It's like being dropped into existence right smack in the middle of the Hunger Games.
It would be better all the way around if businesses were not allowed to grow unchecked, directed only by their own greed, but instead were required to grow and shrink to suit the needs of the population.
If I am expected to work, then I must have a job. If you, Government of the United States of America, don't have a job for me, you need to find a way to help me live without one.

You're damn right. I'm sorry no one paid attention. Your talent is obvious to me at least. Thank you for the comment.
