Let's remember the young.


I'm fortunate enough to have had ample training in manufacturing. Whether it was learning about procurement and supply-chain strategies from China while at CVS (1) (Concurrent Versions System) A version control system for Unix that was initially developed as a series of shell scripts in the mid-1980s. CVS maintains the changes between one source code version and another and stores all the changes in one file.  or maintaining strategic partnerships in Asia and Europe while serving as CFO See Chief Financial Officer.  and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board.  of a small domestic manufacturer, I learned one thing: change is forever.

Although I found Joe Queenan's column ("Go West, Young Children," Flip Side, March 2004) interesting, not all 22-year-old college graduates are ready to go off to Boise. It is almost impossible today for a new college grad to start a life. Many return home, face steep college loans, work two jobs and have to accept a low-paying position to begin their careers. Yes, times have changed, and I am not about to signal doom and gloom doom and gloom
n.
Gloom and doom.



doom-and-gloom adj.
. But I would love to hear from other readers about how they think the next generation is going to correct for the ills they've inherited.

If all the hands-on jobs are outsourced, how is today's college graduate to learn the skills he or she needs? I fear that many will become mere corporate "robots" working as much out of fear of being "outsourced" as out of passion or hope for the future.
