Wouldn't it be cool if we stopped raising employees and started raising CEOs?
@realcaseyrollins I'm not sure how that would work out. Becoming a CEO is even more stressful and there are fewer positions. Unless you mean we're all going to become self-employed?
@realcaseyrollins Hmm. Not sure how that would look but it would likely benefit everyone to some degree. I mean, there are skillsets you need to become an entrepreneur that just isn't taught in schools right now but would benefit you even if you were an employee, you know? Mostly relating to communication, getting/negotiating contracts and earning the confidence you need to make it. Maybe also how to handle stress.
@sim @realcaseyrollins in my view public schools have largely served as a future employee indoctrination system. Where can one develop entrepreneurial skills if the hidden curriculum is trying to instill obedience and rule-following into you?
@hector @realcaseyrollins I mean, the way that the education system is run certainly does that. You have to wear the school uniform, you have to be there and on time, you have to follow whatever rules are set. But other than that, I don't think my lessons taught me anything about how to be a good employee. It certainly didn't give me the right skillsets. It's more about getting through the exams, and then off you go to the next stage. When you get to the workplace you are not prepared for it.
