In a few short weeks, I shall be recalled to my busy life, trying to meet the requirements of multiple authority figures who have deadlines in a tight schedule. I need this pace now, I need it to be hard, I need it as preparation for the demands of the working world.
Each season that passes, the business sector becomes more demanding of its employees. It is the law of supply and demand - the more educated and dedicated the incoming workforce, the greater the ante is raised for the next set of graduates. You may be young, but there is always someone younger. You may be good, but there is always someone better. You may memorize the dictionary, but there will always be some who did the same with a set of encyclopedias.
That equivalency is either available or expected, and when you are looking for a position, the line between the two becomes blurred. The question will be, "Are you willing to give your time, energy, and innovation to a world always on the go?"
Entrepreneurship is appearing to be a more appealing skill, though it takes a vision and knack to pull it off time after time. It is risky, but if you have a passion and a market, you have a chance to become the next new thing. The sky is limitless for the self employed, but the abyss is bottomless as well if you don't have grounding in reality.
So, in a few short weeks I return to study for a season. May I retain what is important and learn what is necessary to survive in this brave new world. See you there at the end. Godspeed!
