Op-Ed Columnist - The New Untouchables - NYTimes.com
A Washington lawyer friend recently told me about layoffs at his firm. I asked him who was getting axed. He said it was interesting: lawyers who were used to just showing up and having work handed to them were the first to go because with the bursting of the credit bubble, that flow of work just isn’t there. But those who have the ability to imagine new services, new opportunities and new ways to recruit work were being retained. They are the new untouchables.
That is the key to understanding our full education challenge today. Those who are waiting for this recession to end so someone can again hand them work could have a long wait. Those with the imagination to make themselves untouchables — to invent smarter ways to do old jobs, energy-saving ways to provide new services, new ways to attract old customers or new ways to combine existing technologies — will thrive. Therefore, we not only need a higher percentage of our kids graduating from high school and college — more education — but we need more of them with the right education.

The Official Blog-Thing of BRANDIUS
I am a designerd/developnerd at a sweet web marketing company in Houston. I got into Twitter and quickly found that I needed my own personal space where clients are less likely to think, 'Is THAT what Brandi does at work?' I am a huge fan of sarcasm, coffee, comics, and internet things. My engagement to 'Mr. Man' is based on internet jokes and memes. He just hasn't figured that out yet.
