In a world of uncertainty for many of the youth today living in the afterlife of the global economic crisis, education becoming more expensive with student loans crushing many young adults whilst deterring those interested in gaining qualifications due to lack of jobs thereafter. Some of our young are amidst or on the brink of national unrest with a bleak prospective for the future and the like. For some its peer pressure mounting to be included in anti-social behaviour, easy access to harmful influences via cyberspace and the like. However, it is not all doom and gloom, for some youth’s refuse to settle for “their lot” and strive to make a stamp and a difference in the world, which in turn encourages other youth mates to do the same. When these stories hit the media, there is a frenzy, people will support and encourage them on and are warmed by positive stories and not those of the younger generation on benefits schemes and all hope seems lost for them. And indeed, things seem to be on the “up” across the pond, and construction on the rise industry leaders are seeking and encouraging young talent to come forward. “A tale of Change” paints a picture of youthful talent being sought after, as mentioned by Chris Wood, the DTZ executive vice president. “Chicago’s CBD is benefiting from a search for talent,” and ” We are seeing a tremendous amount of activity in the capital markets—more than $3.5 billion of activity year to date in 2014″.
