@Ellie – Well, you won’t have a successful career for 30+ years off of what you learned in school, will you? Instead, you will have to learn new skills as you go so that you can successfully stay current or increase your responsibilities in your positions.

The way to look at it is if you are in a position now and want to move to a different position, what skills will you need to acquire on this job to get there? Then go get them.

I think you make a very interesting point. I feel its very relevant to me as i will be entering full time employment soon. However you mention “The pursuit of a career should be the learning of new skills” But isn’t that why we’re at school? To learn new skills which will guide us towards a successful career no matter in what industry?

Thanks
