My advice to the graduating seniors is to think long term. Resist the temptation for the immediate gratification. Look at the examples of one's grandparents and great-grandparents and pull important lessons from their experiences. Wonderful post, Kate. My advice to the graduating seniors is to think long term.

But for many young people today typing is just with their thumbs. Learn to type with your whole hands, and your mind. It's kind of hard to type at a computer with just your thumbs. ;) Ric Kate:

In junior high school I had the highest grades not only in my class, but in the school (about 2000 kids). When I got to high school, they assigned me typing. Only girls were in the class and I was outraged. I got myself out of the class, from what I thought was sexism. When I had a new college degree, everyone asked how many words could I type. I noticed that males my age were not asked this quite as much. It took me a long time to learn how to type, I resented it. I got a job in advertising with my 40 words a minute and got promoted out of typing in about 3 months and never typed again until a few years ago. Now I can type, but I wonder, are men being asked to type as much as women now? I am a recruiter, but not for entry level candidates, so I am not sure. Great post!

Different perhaps. But if I had to choose one challenge facing not only Gen Y, But Gen X, And Gen whatever, it is this: All that passes for news, is not. Cultivate trusted sources and filters. Those who develop the ability to navigate the morass of information will be far ahead of the curve, no matter their age.
