And even with a college education, flexibility and an openness to lifelong learning and new ideas is a must.  I also took from this that we cannot afford to be even a little complacent about our educational systems because there are countless very bright people all over the world in the so-called developing nations who will be waiting to seize whatever opportunities present themselves.  Technology is making the world smaller and smaller as information technology grows by leaps and bounds.  We can no longer afford to indulge in them versus us types of thinking.
