Investing For The Future

摘要

The past few months have shown huge volatility in the international financial system, with many indicators pointing toward economic slowdown. The natural tendency for most companies and individuals is to hunker down, cut back on expenses, and to wait for better times. At times like these, investment for the future usually takes a back seat to other concerns because it's easier to worry simply about the here and now. Even in tough times, though, most people will find money for an investment if the opportunity looks like a sure thing, especially if the returns are potentially large. With this in mind, I would like to bring to your attention a relatively low-cost investment that invariably leads to a set of assets that can provide returns that could last for decades. I'm talking about investing in people and, in particular, students, who are in the process of plotting their career trajectories.
