re: Are Cultural and Ethnic diversity and competency needed for success today?

My barber and I recently spoke about how all high school kids should work in retail, volunteer at a hospital and work at an old folks home.

I loathe this line of thinking. Oh, you think that people should work in certain professions to gain experience or insight into how another segment of society lives? That's great, you do it. Leave people alone, and let them choose the path in life they feel is best for them.

I'm only on this earth for a short period of time, why the hell would I want to waste it doing shite I don't want to do? That's called unhappiness. We should strive to do things that makes us happy, not unhappy.

And to answer your question, no, of course you don't need cultural & ethnic diversity & competency to be successful. That's asinine. Who's determining success anyway? You? For one, you think the thousands of blue collar jobs out there need that to be "successful"?
