When I was a kid, a bachelor degree is good enough to land
you a good job. Growing up in a
Chinese family, knowledge gains through the traditional education system and
books are the only routes I knew to learn. All the way through college and a couple of years after I
joined the work force that was all I knew. Not until the last couple of years do I realized, in this
age with knowledge and information pouring into your face by the second that
the most up to date and relevant knowledge is no longer gained through
school.
Keeping yourself up to
date on the latest news and industry trends are vital to keep you valuable in
market. We have to an era that
school only give you the basics.
We all have to keep ourselves educated every day. Be prepared that there will be no end
to learning. It used to be an
option to upgrade your self if you want to climb up the ladder. This has become a requirement to keep
yourself competitive. Like the
habit to read news everyday, we need to get into a habit to read news in the
field you are in everyday to keep yourself apace to the industry to keep
yourself relevant. Is there less
need to learn knowledge through school then for our future generation? Knowledge dispersing rate seems to be
so much slower through the school system compare to the Internet. What do you think?
