The ‘JETSON AGE’ is set to leave behind the average person who does not have these characteristics:

Contrarian - Every invention challenges and ultimately disrupts the status quo in society. For example, twenty five years ago every household had a landline - a phone attached to the wall. The mobile phone was invented. Today 80% of the population owns a mobile phone. The people who create these inventions are the rule breakers.

Creativity - The IBM Survey 2010 interviewed 1500 CEOs across 66 countries who stated the 21st Century highest demand leadership skill is creativity. Creativity is the ability to imagine new ideas. Students who fabricate and exaggerate stories are creative. Students who love to play and joke are creative.

Tenacity with high willingness to succeed - Determined to complete whatever task they embark upon even if they will face negative consequences.

Observer of the hidden obvious - Students notice details others miss. Often they communicate their little details by gossiping and joking.

Post-secondary training - Jetson age jobs require Post-secondary training.

If those characteristics are recognized and channeled into fun projects that eventually lead to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), Corporate America would develop a bold, Inventive, risk taking, science or technological expert.

The right credential is either an associates degree, apprenticeship or more preferably a Bachelor’s Degree. Access to high paying careers in the Jetson Age and in the of future require a Bachelor’s degree or at least an Associate’s degree. Today's high unemployment is proving this fact to be true.
