Most Americans have the perception that we are #1 and that we are always on top of things. Sadly I say, this is false. After watching a video (supplied by one of my professors) on YouTube my already known thoughts were confirmed. We are way behind the rest of the world. I can't believe that 100% of college graduates in India speak English, but we don't require our college graduates to learn another language.
I feel like I live in the land of the lazy, not the land of opportunity. Sure we have opportunity here, but with today's market we are seeing that opportunity shipped overseas. The other statistic that opened my eyes was that we'll have between 10-14 jobs by the time we're 38. I don't know about the rest of you but I don't want that many jobs. Actually I would just like nice cushy career, where do you sign up for that?
Somethings got to change. We have to stop being so lazy. We have to start caring. I don't know how to even make that possible, but we have to start somewhere, right?

I agree with your paragraph Amanda of having 10-14 jobs. I do not want this many either and the thought just makes me cringe! haha
I agree with you as well Amanda. We do think that we are #1 as Americans. It is funny, because if you go abroad we are the laziest, loudest and fattest people out there. It is ridiculous that we assume the world is at our beck and call. We should know several different languages before we graduate high school
I agree PR student (Kasey). I can't believe that we still have this mentality. I think it's this mentality that keeps us behind in the world too. We all need a good change of perspective.
