Too much pessimism about everything in America/ part 2

Jobs, it really about jobs most of the time if society is to function properly. How to match all the people who want to work with the available jobs is daunting. How to have everyone who needs to work find a job is overwhelming. How to develop younger people to find solid careers and stay in them but move elsewhere when skills become obsolete or undervalued in the market place can give a job placement professional a headache.

The daunting problem of finding jobs for people who want to work in an available job must be approached systematically. One job at a time.

Case in point is this guy Mark Zuckerberg CEO of Facebook. On the face of things Zuckerberg  doesn't seem an easy person to place in a job. His skills are a little irrelevant. He studied the classics in High school, but dropped out of college in his junior year. He isn't known as a team player having been on the fencing team; true he was Captain but he tends to see things only from his own point of view which causes him to thrust and charge forward with outrageous ideas like putting peoples pictures on line without their explicit permission.

However Zuckerberg' family helped the lad. His computer programming interests were encouraged, his Father hired him private tutors and he was encouraged to attend Harvard. Raised Jewish, although later becoming atheist, the value of work and career were present in the household.

All in all maybe there was one ideal job for Mark Zuckerberg and he found it; billionaire CEO of a social network site. Sometimes the system of matching jobs and people's skills and talents just works.
Also Zuckerberg  probably makes enough money to ensure his wife won't have to seek employment.

A second job match could also be handled by having a Father help his sons. Second case in point Ward Cleaver of the television show " Leave it to Beaver" could help his boys Wally and Theodore finds jobs by taking them to his work place and introducing them to his boss and seeing if he could get them employment. Ward worked in an office and sometimes had to go in on Saturday's but he had a good life overall and his wife didn't have to work outside the home except charity work and things like that. Ward also had plenty of time for dealing with week to week and episode to episode family problems. Also the family had a nice car to take long drives in and they could go to restaurants occasionally.

Helping young people find good jobs and careers. It all starts with the Family.
