When youth work during the critical years between 10 and 20—they become inspired to find meaningful work, which is a knack that can last a lifetime and lead to happiness and self-sufficiency as adults. The author offers a plan for navigating the challenges facing youth: gaining academic skills through a quality education and acquiring practical skills by working. He discusses the need for education, basic life skills, the types of high schools and colleges, parenting styles, mentoring, and IQ.
