So, in the 21st century, following the advice of go to school, get good grades and look for a job is suicidal. The advice you should instead follow is; Go to school, get good grades and create a job for yourself. What this simply means is; Instead of looking for a job, you should create a business around your knowledge, talents, skills and ideas. This is the 21st century. For you to succeed, do not focus on using your degree to get a job.

Instead focus on how to use the knowledge that you acquired as a result of getting your degree to solve pressing societal problems. Look around you…. The world has changed. The people who are succeeding are those who are using their ideas, knowledge, talents and skills to solve pressing human problems. The money is in the problem that you can solve and not in the degree. Start solving problems and the money will flow to you.
