Education is more important today than at any other
time in history. As we leave the Industrial Age behind and
enter the Information Age, the value of one's education
continues to increase. The question today is, Is the
education you or your child receives in school adequate to
meet the challenges of this brave new world we enter?
In the Industrial Age you could go to school, graduate,
and start your career. You usually did not need additional
education to succeed simply because things did not
change that fast. In other words, the education you
learned in school was all you needed for your lifetime.
As millions of baby boomers get ready to retire today,
however, many are faced with the realization that they
have not been adequately educated for the new world they
face. For the first time in history, many well-educated
people are facing the same economic difficulties that the
less educated are facing. They repeatedly find themselves
having to get additional education and training in order to
satisfy their current job requirements.
