We were hoping to move up the career ladder as our parents had before us. However, we discovered that for every promotion, there were 30 eager Baby Boomers standing in There are not large numbers of workers to replace us. Many of the early boomers who chose government careers can retire by the end of this decade. And the first Baby Boomers will turn 65 in the year mmmmmmm 2011. If not satisfied with our line.

In 1950, 20 percent of all jobs wore skilled and 60 percent were unskilled and re-quired no formal training. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by the year 2000, fr percent of all non-professional jobs will be skilled and 15 percent unskilled. The ticket for success for today's children will not necessarily be a four-year college degree.

Instead, a technical or two-year college degree andor vocational preparation will likely be the educational path leading to the skilled jobs. All work will require at least a high school diploma and specific job training. As today's children enter the workforce in the late 1990s and into the next millennium, there should By CAROLINE TUDOR Career Education Specialist If you are one of the 76 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964, you are part of the "Baby Boom" generation and you have impacted society from the date of your birth. Much has been written about the Baby Boomers; especially about their affect on the media and aging trends. However, this generation has also influenced work in our society.

One early characteristic of the Baby Boomers is that they have a more advanced education than any generation before. More boomers went on to four-year colleges than their parents or grandparents. College campuses in the 1960s and 1970s were in a continual state of construction to accommodate the many applicants. Those same universities that could afford to be selective during those years be sons for the skills throughciit their increase in entre- Preneurs in the careers, they can be suc- 19 8 0s.

However, they may also have difficulty with promotions as they work with boomers who are waiting for retirement. Current labor market including job projections for the next 15 years, is available through sources such as the Ohio Career Information System and the Occupational Outlook Handbook. This is important information for today's youth to consider when making decisions about career goals. If children make informed choices about work, and are willing to learn new skills throughout their careers, they can be successful. They are the workforce of the next millennium.

As we left universities and colleges through the 1970s, we faced our first employment problem. Unemployment rates soared because there were pools of applicants for a limited number of entry-level jobs.

We were often unemployed or underemployed because there were so many of us (one-third of the American population) trying to find our first jobs. By the late 1970s this led to another problem. Large numbers of middle-age managers and even junior executives approaching retirement found themselves without work; replaced by cheaper boomers with fewer years of experience. As we moved into the 1980s, most of us found satisfying work and settled into careers. We then faced our next employment crisis, know they love you too! They live up in heaven and they are angels.
