Carries on well from the Tony Wagner piece in the NYT:

“Every young person will continue to need basic knowledge, of course,” he said. “But they will need skills and motivation even more. Of these three education goals, motivation is the most critical.

They will be able to find new opportunities or create their own — a disposition that will be increasingly important as many traditional careers disappear.”
