Reflecting the future

I've noticed a pattern with all our speakers.

They all stumbled onto their current careers through sheer dumb luck. Yet several of them have touted the importance of specialized education. Almost none of them went into a career that naturally fit with their major (the economist excluded).

Their messages are contradictory. "Have a plan." "Don't stick to that plan." "Find Yourself." "Don't look too long."

The only thing all of them agreed on was "Get a Job!"

Great, me and a couple million of my unemployed friends'll jump right on that.
