Derik Graham Question 6 Chapter 6

The passage that I found the most interesting from this chapter is the one about the man that Wheelan met from Palestine, Gamal Abouali. The passage talked about a young boy who pursued graduation in three years instead of the more traditional four. Wheelan explains that human capital is an "economic passport" and that the man was taking extra classes to be more secure faster. Besides the further explaination that Wheelan provides I found his analysis of human capital very true. A very defined set of skills that have universal applications is very useful. Wheelan uses the example of engineering to illustrate how universal skills work. What I have taken away from this example is that a pursuit of a set of skills that can be used anywhere is the best way in ensure financial stability.
