The global economy we are moving into more and more gives us a disadvantage in wages, and it's natural many businesses would want to lower their costs and get workers elsewhere. At least a partial answer for some is to globalize their own opportunity by finding it online through reputable and worthwhile means (http://leavethejobbehind.com is one example) and/or find something that is worth promoting- something that that benefits others in profound ways. http://businessintobenevolence.com The young person’s guarantee is a small part of the bigger picture.
