7. " But where will they find the place to use talents they have or will develop?"
Sat Jun 20, 2026, 07:40 AM
Saturday

If those talents have anything to do with anything other than making money, then they are in for it.

There is no demand for much other than business grads and Tech people. (And, that market is already flooded beyond belief.)

In short, if they want to survive, they will need to find talents in those fields. STEM is the only thing that is allowed to prosper, and even a few of those letters are starting to lose their place in this greedy society.

Of course, all of that is dependent on there being a civilized society that one can try to survive in. Considering just how insistent we seem to be on not understanding why we are here and what we have to do to fix it, I am not holding my breath.
