The world we live in is damn crazy. Today in class while discussing classical career routes and deviant career routes, it made it sounds like i have already gone through the peak of my career. I am still a student in college. The problem is the tech industry is so down right now that i will probably be making less an hour than i was when i designed sites for people in highschool. Also, the tech industry is notorious for firing out the older programmers and hiring bright young kids right out of college. Good thing i am getting out of coding and going to be running my own company. I doubt i will have to program after our first project reaches its first release. Once this happens i will be good to go. Anyways with tech turning over and job rates so down my professor is talking like we would be better off dropping out of school and working somewhere like walmart because after you put in many years there the pay isn't bad and the vacations and benefits are great. So what the hell is up when a world is trying to move intellegent people into blue collar jobs.
Is there no need to develop anything new. Since so many of the pasts great inventions are still running nad ruling are life. Think about it, Cars are so dominant even if better methods of transportation were invented, it wouldn't be worth changing the entire highway and road system over to the newer device. There would be claims it is to hard to control, the common man couldn't use it.... Blah blah blah change is hard and no one wants to make changes anymore. So is it truely a time when great innovations are avoided because they are to hard to implement. Do we look for little simple improvments that can adapt to an already lucrative market? Not all inovation is dead medicine will always be worth more the more it can do. But ther systems my be so entrenched in society that they are here to stay. Anyways i read this quote that i don't know who it is from and i think it is a hilarious illustration of how wacky the world currently is.
"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colon."
