I'm thinking if I can reduce his arguments to their base elements, Havoc might be able to realize just exactly that.
I've noticed in my travels two distinct groups of people:
Folks A) Are making tons of money with highly specialized skill sets. They are actually making more money than they ever thought possible and are reveling in new technology and increasingly easy travel and the ability to access foreign markets and customers. A good portion of these folks have no solid job. They work as independent contractors.
Folks B)Have been "caught in the switches." Their skill sets are either undeveloped or outdated. The price/value of their skill set has fallen to near zero on the open market. They either want things to go back to the old corporate model or some other real or imagined way that things "used to be."
Needless to say, there are more Folks B than Folks A. And this is a real problem.
p.s.
One last thing -- it is extremely easy to confuse the value of someone's skill set with the value of them as a person. Obviously, the two are not related -- but it's sometimes difficult to untangle the two.
