So much has been said, but there are so many variable you couldn't possibly cover all of them nor would you have the energy to.

I think for sure America is one of the hardest hit by the globalization, a lot of the jobs that used to be here have been shipped elsewhere over seas for cheaper. After having read many articles on the subject from different business journals I've come to find our crisis here is innovation; discovering what the next big thing is that will push our country past every other in terms of new ideas and our ability to consistently improve upon them. What that next big things is I have no idea? I believe to move in the right direction it will take a majority administration in government that will take an isolationist approach to foreign affairs- not completely- fact is we've expended our resources tremendously over the past several years on matters that do not concern our own well being, and need to refocus our energy into making this country what it 's always thought up to be, "the land of opportunity". While it very much is still that, we've lost a lot of ground in creating those new opportunities, especially for our future. As a nation we're behind in education(which is pitiful here, especially in SoCal), and the future of this country is in the hands of the developing minds of the children of today. It's quite popular here for college students to go to grad school immediately after they finish their undergrad- because it takes having a masters degree to not only get a decent job, but also to earn a decent living. Otherwise you're considered to be "behind" by employers, having a degree just means you're trainable - which is good, but not if you want to be upwardly mobile. While I think there is somewhat a false notion of instant gratification for having a masters(job market is way competitive, because you're competition is global), it most certainly helps, but my thought is what happens when everyone and their Mom has a masters? Then what? Most certainly corporations are still going to be looking for ways to cut costs, but in truth they can only take this approach so far. There are definitely jobs that can never be outsoured(especially my major- marketing).

On a personal note; I try not to worry about things that are out of my control. I strategize a plan to survive and follow it, keenly.
