Career Advice for Young People

A post at Creating Passionate Users asks, "What kinds of career advice would you give to young people?"

The advice I would give (with the disclaimer that Skyler will not be nominating me for any parent-of-the-year awards) is that the most important preparation skills/orientations today are:
Creativity
Flexibility
Resourcefulness
Synthesis
Metacognition (thinking about thinking)

I haven't had a lot of time to think about it yet. What do you think?

UPDATE - The post appears to have been removed. But it's still an interesting topic.
UPDATE again - Looks like typepad is temporarily down.
