Jobs people compete to get are good jobs. The opposite is probably true as well.
For those many years, one valuable lesson I learnt is, being a sheep and following other people, in a lot of cases, aren't optimal, but ROI is not bad. Being cynical might make oneself seem smart and level headed, but you can also miss valuable opportunity. Don't assume the crowd know the best, but when there are a lot of people, that often indicates it is where the money is at.
- milankovic 9y agoThat is some excellent advice. I agree wholeheartedly.
