Uk Future Innovators

This is a great report from the National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts in the UK on attitudes among young in the UK people today:

"Young people believe their own passion, motivation and personal attributes will be more important in helping them pursue the career of their choice than qualifications, according to a new survey from NESTA, due to be published today. They’re driven by a desire for personal fulfilment ahead of money, and by personal interest over altruism.

Jonathan Kestenbaum, CEO of NESTA, said:

“If predictions are correct, 50 per cent of the jobs that will be available in 10 years time don’t yet exist. On this basis, it becomes harder to predict what qualifications someone will need in 2020 and it is more important to give them a broad range of skills to prepare them for all the options. This means encouraging young people to be confident, creative risk-takers who will be more likely to come up with new ideas, lead business or drive social change”.
