>> I think the best advice, and I think this is what helped me is I, I transitioned in
and out of the workforce, I think anything in life,
will all have transitions, more than it used to be.
The days of I either got out of high school, I got out of college and I went to work for GM,
or I went to work for IBM, those days are gone.
I don't think they're coming back, I think that level of certainty or security
that people felt isn't there, but I think you provide yourself that level of certainty
and security, by being a student of the world, and always learning,
keeping current in whatever industry you choose.
I think you become your own brand, and you owe it to yourself to manage that,
because a lot of things in the world, we don't control.
We don't have lifetime jobs, or affiliations with companies anymore,
and I think when you are aware of that and you're not intimidated by it,
but you rise to that challenge, it's a much more exciting time.
Even though you may have 4 or 5 transitions in a career, I think it makes life more robust
and meaningful, and you just have to prepare yourself for that.
So whatever career people choose, they always have to keep in the back
of their mind, they are their brand.
What do they want that brand to say?
And how committed are they to building that brand in whatever industry they're in?
