A universal love story

By Curt Wahlberg

As a boy in the 1980s, stepping out into the world in the Midwestern United States, I probably had things relatively easy. Today, the world is undergoing some tumultuous changes. Young people, job seekers, and really everyone, face a challenging landscape—and it’s understandable if some get upset and cry out for answers.
