The Venture Edge

 Tomorrow is graduation at the University of Southern California and probably hundreds of other schools around the country.  And while it should be a time of hope, a sense of accomplishment, and the excitement of getting a job and becoming independent, this year’s class is facing a tough job market—fewer jobs and more people competing for them. How prepared is this group of graduates to meet the challenges that await them?  Sadly, and with apologies to the students who took their time in school seriously, I’m concerned that too many are not equipped with the skills they need for success.
