Gone are the days where in we are focused only simply achieving in learning one skill. We should set our goals in a way that there should be PLAN A, PLAN B or PLAN C. Why? Because we all know that the kind of jobs available is not equal to the number of people taking courses related to these jobs.
We may have focused on what we wanted to be when we graduate in College, not considering if it is a highly in demand occupation. Thus we have a hard time weighing between wanting to achieve our dreams or wanting to become practical. The next question that some would ask is if they can be able to stay long enough in a good paying job but does not interest them much. How can they be successful in one job that they are only forced to do because of financial reasons and not satisfying one’s happiness?
Now, the time has come where we should not put any limitations on what we can do and achieve. We must learn to blend in with the times. This is being practical. The imbalance with the kind of jobs available to the students who have graduated with the courses that they want can never be changed if we do not go beyond what we need to do. Being practical is the key. Set forth goals that you think can be “doable” and “workable” on your end. Simply by learning other stuff especially, with regards to information technology, this could be just your edge in landing a good-paying job that you want.
Is it being too ambitious? NO! It is being practical and helping save your sanity intact, as well.

are you talking about me again? LOL.
Ha ha, I think Jen has you on her sights. LOL
LOL. just kidding about it. I only know one thing, to tell stories. ha haha
and in addition, to those, being innovative too counts a lot.
I think that we all have become jack of all trades because of the need to be able to earn more for our families.
so agree, and sometimes through long time experience and challenges at work we tend to really excel out from we know already.
The more we know the better value we can have for an employer. Of course what you know should be relevant to that particular employer. The right skills matter.
That’s true. And well, based on my own experience, I have always wanted to be a doctor. It was all about the medical field that i wanted. Then i discovered that i could do more without me realizing that it would be of a huge help for me until this day–and that is rediscovering my love for writing.
Students and jobseekers should be multi-talented so they can beat others in competing for available jos. One can still acquire skills even if he is already employed, specially in the IT aspect.
That’s right. Well, I have somehow just push myself on things that I know I have the temperament to handle. LOL
Exactly my thoughts. We should not limit what we can do because there are other opportunities which me might be good at, talents waiting to be discovered.
