When the student showed up in my office inquiring about his very low final grade, it began as a fairly routine appointment. Before I knew it, it had escalated into one of the ugliest exchanges I have ever had with a student – a very rare experience for me.
Perhaps the exchange would have ended differently had I given him the following advice instead: 
Youth employment is at a 60-year low and student loan debt just topped $1 trillion—and yet young Americans are, in droves, starting their own businesses. The question is, how do we support young Americans’ efforts to rebuild the economy through entrepreneurship?
Here are 10 novel ways our country could and should get started, suggested by intellectuals, nonprofit founders, philanthropists, educators, politicians and entrepreneurs who are part of the #FixYoungAmerica campaign, a solutions-based movement that aims to end youth unemployment led by the Young Entrepreneur Council.
America’s youth needs you, Stephen Colbert.
With an eye-watering percentage of America’s college graduates either unemployed or under-employed, the American dream will be out of reach for most of an entire generation of young, red-blooded Americans. Without your help, the product of the most esteemed university system in the world will not be able to buy a house in a gated community before the age of 30, drive a foreign car or work for Apple, a company which makes the most insanely great products – overseas.
Awareness of this plight must be raised in the way only you can.
You’ve all heard the argument: is the cost of college worth it?
This long-time debate has been especially prominent in the economic downturn in the past few years. The debate isn’t whether college-educated employees make significantly more money in their lifetime than those without a degree — this fact is widely accepted. Instead, the debate is whether the education you receive in college is what’s producing value, or if it’s the simple fact of having a college degree that gives you a higher paycheck.
When you graduate from college, you’re going to need all the experience you can build in order to compete in today’s challenging job market. And you’ll be well prepared with a solid resume – by taking advantage of leadership and networking positions now!
Just like the introductory courses you take early in your college career, it’s good to take a crash course in financial aid. Think of this as an elective in reducing your tuition stress! (Don’t worry – it’s an “easy A”!)
