Young people shouldn't bother "fighting over the remaining scraps of
the old economy," said Walter Russell Mead. Now is a fantastic time to
"find new routes into the uncharted wilderness of the 21-century
economy."
Start-up costs for new ventures are incredibly low; a 24-year-old
with an Internet connection has "the kind of information and access that
only large corporations used to be able to afford." And there are vast
sums of money to be made in providing "customized and tailored services"
to increasingly busy Americans."
If you can figure out ways to take necessary chores off peoples'
hands at a reasonable price, many will pay what you ask and thank you
for the help." In particular, Americans want help bottling the "hose of
the Internet"--there's simply too much on the Web these days for most
people to handle, opening huge opportunities for "filtering, organizing,
and customizing" this torrent of information.
My advice for young people: Build a small business around what your
friends and neighbors need and want. It'll be more satisfying and
"substantially more remunerative that anything a traditional,
off-the-shelf career has to offer."
