Darn it — there’s goes the message for my annual high school graduation speech/op-ed, coming next week. 😉 Actually, this is spot-on. If anything, the message should be to expect constant change in the job market and prepare for it with a flexible attitude — now more than ever.

LOL....I think they should ban celebrities from commencement addresses. My high school commencement address was delivered by Lowell Weicker. He said we should thank our parents...he was channeling "The Greatest Generation" well before Tom Brokaw wrote it. He was criticized at the time because one thing for sure the "Greatest" had buried so many of their friends and relatives from WWII they were not accepting much thanks. In retrospect it was a good idea. FOR ME I WAS JUST THANKFUL TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL! I don't remember my college speakers name although I'm pretty sure he was a Florida senator. I am relieved I don't remember. If I was to deliver one I would say, have as much fun as you possibly can while working 2 jobs to support a family!

Though you are are a brilliant journalist, as one of the privileged few who has enjoyed one of your sparkling stage perfotmances at Bishop U., i can say that perhaps you missed your calling!
