There once was a time where everything you needed to know for your career was taught to you by the educational institution you attended and the company you worked for. You would go get your four year bachelors degree in whatever topic and that information would stay with you for a little while, then you would periodically take some additional classes offered through your company. Today by the time you graduate with a four year college degree most of the information you will learn will be outdated and perhaps obsolete. One of the things I hear all the time when interview executives on the future of work podcast is that companies value the ability to learn new things much more than they value job experience or a fancy college degree. This creates an interesting challenge for us, how do we continue to adapt and stay relevant in a world where things change so quickly?
