Where I think we must go

In my first 27 years on this earth I have experienced quite a bit. I served in the military for 5 and half years, I won a small fortune in Las Vegas, I started my own record label, experienced recovery, had run ins with the law, and now I am on another journey to further my education. I decided to go back to school because I want to help people. I am not doing it for the money, I have enough(though I can't touch it),I guess I am selfish and I like to see people happy. Call me codependent call me what you like. I am going back to school during a time of great change. We are now facing a depression rivaling that of the Great depression. I am going to school to do my part to help this country get back on path. I may be just one person but it takes just one to start a revolution. When will our country get it? Our most valued workforce are the employees that are over 50 with years of experience. Sure you can pay a recent grad less money but a company can not and will not be successful without your seasoned veterans who have experience. Not only do they have experience they provide leadership.Don...'t layoff an employee 2 years before he can retire just so you don't have to pay a pension. Until our country learns we will not get out of this recession. Pay them, they are worth it. You may not see it now but hiring a recent grad because you can pay him less will only show them to leave as soon as a better offer comes. They see what happens to seniority. Just my two cents, I know I soon will be a recent grad but I believe in our older workforce. I think they are what matters. This blog will chronicle my journey which will hopefully end with a degree from USC, go Trojans! I love the Lord! SC
