Education

As globalization comes to an end it will have profound effects on all areas of life. One area not often considered is education. The country will be doubling its industrial base over the next ten years and this means a lot of blue collar jobs. Most of the baby boomer went through the last great expansion of industrial jobs so they were mostly blue collar people but they wanted their kids to go to college so they could have white collar jobs. Thus the great push for everyone to go to college and this resulted in a glut of college graduates who could not find jobs that would pay for their student loans. The education system must now gear up for training for blue collar jobs. This new economy is already upon us as many trades people can make more money than many Liberal Arts grads without wasting four years in college. This requires a massive shift from college to tech training schools and the universities haven't yet figured this out. Not only will trades people be needed to build the new factories the need for high school grads to work in the factories will be necessary. Unless you are going to college to study STEM, business or in healthcare you should be prepared to struggle to find a job that will pay your bills. If your parents have money you can have the luxury of studying what ever you want otherwise beware.
