I think the answer is education. I’m not talking just about

schools, but how information on career paths, alternatives and

other opportunities are hidden from the masses, specifically

poor children.

We do need schools, better schools, an entirely different system

and set-up. Schools that are more like mini-universities with

open, community center layouts, where no more than 20% of

the time is spent learning the basics and the rest of the

curriculum is spent learning & exploring everything else. Where

fine arts and sciences are expanded in-depth so kids are familiar

with everything from astronomy to ballet to medicine to solar

energy to film production and everything in between.

I believe this will give young people a much broader world view

and with a broader world view than just “get a job at McDonald’s

and deal with it”, they will have greater ambitions and go

further.

We also need places where adults can learn about other career

paths and get some kind of outside-the-box training and job

placement in fields they would have never thought of.

We also need stricter laws on discrimination and a way to keep

businesses in check by monitoring employee demographics and

taking action when it becomes greatly unbalanced, or

instituting a national scale job placement agency* which puts

people into the jobs they are seeking, thus taking away the

power of the employer to discriminate.
