I’m not saying you should resign at the drop of a hat whenever things don’t go your way. But if you’re pouring your heart and soul into your work, day after day, doing everything right, and it’s still not working, then eventually you will have to consider doing the same thing somewhere else.
Let’s see… How else can I complicate your life?
If you get the chance – and you can make the time – study.
Remember not to take on too much. You might not use half of what you study. You may already know everything you need to know about your job. But that piece of paper can open doors and provide opportunities.
Full-time study will keep you from earning, and isn’t for everyone. Consider studying part-time, while you’re working. But first decide whether you can actually complete the course. Half a diploma is like being half-pregnant. It means nothing to anyone. The mere fact that you have the discipline to study while working will already impress potential employers.
Make sure your studies are meaningful and practical. There was a time when it seemed the only thing lawyers learned in college was how to ask if you wanted fries with that. Come to think of it, that’s still the most useful phrase I’ve ever heard come out of a lawyer’s mouth…
