The Musings of a Wanna-Be Radical

 I read a report compiled by the Lt. Governor of my state which is focused on workforce development. Of course it takes a lot of pages to detail all the good, bad, and ugly related to the continued struggle to prepare students to take on the "jobs of tomorrow" in the "new economy" and it makes me wonder about all the jobs that are the "jobs of yesterday" in the "old economy".   Do we ignore developing new generations of workers to take the old jobs? Think about the impacts if no one wanted to be a hairdresser, grocer, mechanic, farm-hand. Who is responsible to suggest to a high-school student that they may like being a barber more than an AI developer?  Is there somewhere to go to learn about all the jobs that exist? How does a young person become interested in becoming a barber? Perhaps there is an opportunity here to create that information source...  

So, instead of trying to stay on topic, perhaps my effort would be more rewarding if I just wrote whatever came into my cranium on a given day without regard to the trend of topics or if any previous topic had been exhausted through my musing.  To that end, this blog is not expected to bring much value to anyone, not even to myself perhaps.  Hopefully it will allow me to collect and potentially collate my musing into a body of work that will allow me to see patterns that might not be seen.   In the end, this is a blog about nothing... Which I believe was the theme of a rather successful sitcom at one point.
