What Does One Really Need to Succeed?

This blog post touches on a lot of things we covered in class. It ties together numerous concepts including the decrease in the return on education and the necessity to have skills that go beyond the classic undergrad education. It was also interesting how it touched the both the good and bad aspects of computers. How they enhance the skills of the truly talented but replace those with more generic skills. This post also delves deeper into the idea will more range in skill level the more inequality will result. Overall the conclusion is in order to succeed in the new economy real and tangible skills need to be learned.
