I have a difficult time trying to comprehend why so many people think that a job 30 years old, 20 years old, or even 10 years old can and should still be relevant today. You can't force relevancy. You need to be willing to move, change, and adapt.

The majority of us go to basic schooling until we are 18. Many go to college after that, many go to trade schools... by the age of 22-23 one is "done" with schooling and ready to go "work." That is less than a fifth of someone's life spent training and schooling... why do people think that fifth of life in school should be able to keep them relevant until retirement?

The world changes. If an industry dies, one must move on, not force employment.
