The future of any industry is only as strong as the individuals who are just beginning in it. Strong leadership from established professionals will help to carry an industry only so far.  At a certain point, the future of the industry rests on the shoulders of the new crop of hungry and talented recruits. In order to preserve the industry, then, all must look to equip the future of the industry with as much knowledge and preparation as possible before opening the doors to their future.
