A Good Point on Blogs

Being an old guy - I'm 47 - I'm not always clear on what Gen Y'ers are into and what they're not. This might have as much to do with fear as anything else, but that's a topic for a different blog. Apparently, though, Gen Y isn't all that excited about the blogs that Gen X is so attuned to. Over on Brazen Careerist, Ryan Healy makes a good point about the use they could put a blog to:

It’s ironic, though, because blogging is a way to deal with the biggest problem at the beginning of one’s career: No expertise. If you offer intelligent opinions or advice on a credible blog, then you are an expert. This is why more young people should blog. If you have a focused blog, then you can jump from job to job and learn many skills, but the constant will be that you are an expert in whatever area you choose to research and write about.
