Every now and again I have a great idea. Most are too elegant to work, but this time, I've figured out how to give underprivileged children a leg up in society.
Education is key to a child's future. The problem is what to teach them. Rather than focus on useful skills, I think intangible qualities are most important.
Today's kids need irrational confidence and a bloated lexicon to match. With these, they will be able to craft the veneer of insight needed to make it as...
CONSULTANTS!!!
Consider this:
According to the Bureau of Labor, the median wage of a computer programmer is $76,140 per year. That's a good living until you stack it up against the $97,199 (per www.glassdoor.com) that the average technology consultant makes.
Now is the time to eliminate pointless educational initiatives; especially when so many inner-city high schoolers are still recontextualizing business-facing multi-platform datavation synergetics at a Web 1.0 level.
Rather than learn English, they should learn to speak in six-syllable words.
Rather than learn to count they should learn how to get their suits tailored.
Rather than teach them valuable lessons to nowhere, they need to learn how to bluster through two hour conference presentation without saying anything.
Furthermore, consider the impact on the marketplace. By flooding the world with surplus consultants, we may actually bring their price down.
But probably not. So much for elegance.
