问题 [A]Richard Flowers, author of The Rise of the Creative Class, has long predicted the growing importance of creativity in education and business. In the Houston Chronicle Flowers says, "We are going through a fundamental change in our society and economy. There has been a shift to creativity as the fundamental source of economic growth. And for the first time, giving people what we want in our lives is the economic factor that matters.
[B]Dispelling any public pessimism about the importance of upper learning, Kim Jones, who heads Sun Microsystems’ Education Division, says:" Education has become and will continue to be critical in the information age. The big shift is the need to deliver and make education available anywhere, anytime, to anyone, on anything. Education needs to be offered to more people at a much higher level. "
[C]Confirming the creativity-combined-with-education trend, Dr. Jeanne Boeh, who oversees the Economic Department at Augsburg College in Minneapolis, says: " one of the most important changes for education in this century will be the greater importance placed on creativity both for new ideas and for implementing them. The basic rote learning of skills will become even less important due to the ease of outsourcing lower-level service jobs, such as simple computer programming and financial analysis. Lower-level white collar jobs will continue to be eliminated due to technology as well as outsourcing. "
[D]And, while globalization brings concerns about the types of jobs that will be available in the future, one of the most exciting changes of where you could put your higher-learning efforts is into creativity. Creative-type jobs and businesses rank high in safeguarding employment future, Jones says that she encourages students to pursue advanced degrees in business because they can use the business sense to be innovative with creative ideas. She calls this "creativity in motion...to develop new products, new services, and new industries.
[E]She also notes that there is a need for a shift in how you think about education. The traditional mode of going to college full-time as a young adult and being set for the rest of your life is dead. Instead, you need to think about education as a lifelong endeavor, continually shaping your options and interests while meeting economic opportunities. Technological advancements in the form of Internet classrooms, as well as flexible class schedules offer increased options for adults who are continually learning.
[F]How can you enhance your education with creativity options?
[G]After September 11 and the Internet bubble, along with globalization’s employment landscape changes, learning how to balance a new set of educational interests and employment opportunities becomes a necessity. Many people have asked how critical is education in a new world of small business, entrepreneurism, and a less-loyal job market.
