> Work where you will be the dumbest person in the room. probably the best advice you could give! - my biggest regret from when i started out was not working somewhere were i was the dumbest person in the room. i started somewhere where i was the _only_ person in the room. i basically had to teach myself everything as i went. although there are some pros to this, e.g. i really "learned how to learn", in the end i wish i had been in an environment where i could have been constantly learning from the experience and knowledge of others. the learning curve is _a lot_ less steep in that case.
