US high schoolers’ entrepreneurial aspirations at lowest level on record
2017-04-25
[RT] Fewer US high school students want to build their own business, with figures hitting their lowest level since 2011, a survey has revealed. However, those in grades five to eight are more optimistic, and show more enthusiasm about potential startups. The latest Gallup-HOPE Index report suggests that a little over one in four high school students, or 27 percent of respondents, see their future as linked to owning a business.
As economic conditions improve and the current competitors for baby sitting, lawn mowing, and newspaper delivery jobs return to their homes south of the border, youthful aspirations will grow.

#1  It is interesting to imagine if Obama's plan to change America was all about the kids. A whole generation of College graduates struggling with debt and resigned to not doing as well as their parents. A generation of even younger folks having the entrepreneurial spirit removed by cheap foreign labor taking up jobs.

When all of that hits the work forks, at the same time automation and robots arrive it really will be a challenge.
