Will try to catch the program, but I have argued for a long time the
"solution" is quite simple. Somehow convince people to at least get a high
school education, and I am willing to bet that alone will go a long way to
improving the income earning potential of a whole lot of people. I think
the statistics are pretty clear on that point. The lowest wage earners in
this country are those who have not completed high school.

Not only a high school diploma, but everyone needs continuing education
throughout their lives. Even those of us who are seniors need to keep
learning: how much money for retirement, where to live in retirement,
regular driving lessons, health information, job information as well ad
education for pleasure. An example, I am now participating in an
online group that is reading some of Edgar Allen Poe's stories
together. It makes me think, learn and exercise the aging brain.. It
tells us of a world we never knew.
