Many years ago a shipmate, a rather wealthy individual, told me that his version of job security was knowing how to do a variety of things. Around that same time another friend, also smart and not making bad money as a computer programmer, lost his job. He found it difficult to find another job because he was truly one of the country's experts in a certain computer language, but only in that language.
It is very important to teach our children that there are many skills to be learned, and to take joy in those skills. The world changes in the blink of an eye. The more solid skills they have in any area the more easily they will learn the skills of the future. Their future.
