What may create even more jobs is to develop more entrepreneurs, of course, ethical ones.

If you don't know what career you'd change to, I've come to believe in starting with your values. What do you care most about: producing a new product, a cause, health, something unpopular but important, whatever. Next, get expertise in that, perhaps not at State U let alone private U but at You U: self-study, articles,, webinars, volunteering, etc. Then use your network rather than answering ads to land a launchpad job in that career.

Behaviorism is sometimes criticized as encouraging unethical behavior. For example, most organizations offer rewards for increasing revenue and threat of punishment, perhaps firing if you don't "make your number."

Sometimes, low-level jobs are challenging even to someone with CEO potential.

Senescence is an inevitability. All we can do is try to strike the balance between graceful acceptance and raging against the dying light.

If you have an ability, you want to exercise it, not anesthetize it.
