Cameron Heald's TED Talk remains timely and important. I just cited it in the thread on "Entrepreneurship."

I was going to post this same link in response to the "Millennial Moochers" post. The system spotted the duplication. Thanks for posting this! It is too bad that it got buried.

Over the years, I have interviewed entrepreneurs and while they come from all backgrounds, many, like Herold, grew up in business.

As much as we take responsibility for our outcomes, the fact is that many people just get rolled over by a juggernaut they do not perceive. When I was a kid, you could get a paper route. Families owned stores and their kids worked in them. The demise of such entrepreneurial avenues is a secondary consequence of collectivist economics: kids grow up never learning such fundamentals, but being trained to expect guaranteed outcomes: get a good educations and you will get a good job. Provided by whom? The jobs are gone and the would-be workers have no experience at creating their own... and certainly not more for others...

Young people today need to see Cameron Herold's video and others like it.
