C.J. LAURIA left a comment for Corliss McGinty"I couldn't agree more, Corliss! Boomers are the best equipped to branch out as new Entrepreneurs. The truth is that our gov.t is compelling us to do something so non-traditional. "

- I just read in Time mag that alot of the students at seminary schools are Boomers! It goes along with breaking out on your own, working at non-profits, and going into clergy! I think what it comes down to is Boomers want PURPOSE. We have learned that profit is not the holy grail and that we can expect no loyalty from employers anymore. We HAVE to take control of our own fate!
