Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

I think this should be sort of obvious (and I've mentioned it in this newsletter in the (distant) past) but it always bears repeating that your employer is not looking out for your best interests when it makes decisions. Nor should it. "For this reason, every one of us must have a career strategy, and that strategy should be guided by your industry's trajectory. You should be fine-tuned to the intricacies of your profession. You have no choice. You have to self-develop to stay relevant." That's why I'm still learning even as we speak and why you should be too.
