The Digital Generation's Future Jobs

     Must reading in today's New York Times: three privacy settings all Facebook users should make....one reason is to block access to your facebook information (including comments posted by friends) by potential employers. Do the young members of the all-digital generation understand how damaging that can be?
     Of course that's the same generation that's increasingly in love with tattoos...which are either innocent decorations or a product of the devil!
     An Ohio State University Survey several years ago found 30% of young Americans (25-34 years of age) have a tattoo...it's 28% for those under 25. There are so many that the U.S. Army loosened it's regulations, allowing them as long as the ink isn't visible above the neck line.

     Are young folks sabotaging their job futures through Facebook postings and ink? Or is the economy so bleak that they can't see any job future anyway?

  1. Another problem is using suggestive E-mail addresses such as "foxylady" and worse.

  2. A-musement... the total lack of thinking. It is differentiated, of course, from "entertainment."
