   I think part of "sustainable jobs" means people who love what they do. Genuine enthusiasm is contagious to employees and customers; people work harder and better when they are passionate about what they do. I would like to see efforts to help students at the high school level find what they love to do instead of promoting collage as the only next step to be successful. If we educate to win the future while ignore the actual people in the equation we may create a passionless workforce who just tries to get through the day. Let's allow for innovation and entrepreneurialism by balanced and human focused education.
