Managing Your Career

Did you know that you’re already your own boss? That’s because your career is a business, and you are the product. Depending on the statistic, it’s estimated that the average person will change careers five to seven times during their working life. Regardless of the exact number, it’s likely that you will have several careers during your lifetime. Since professional development is no longer linear, it’s more important than ever to take charge of your future and continually develop new capabilities.

“Follow your passion. Do what you love, and the money will follow. Most people don’t believe it, but it’s true.”
