Why to get more education?
|
First… Why should you care? Over and over, we have heard from our parents or at school the same story. Study hard. Get a good degree. With the good degree, a good job. Then, work hard. That’s the perfect receipt to be permanently frustrated about how little money you make, and how much money others make. No matter if you are an operator or a CEO. The money that you make out of selling your time never tastes fulfilling. If you care about that, you should continue your education until you die. Not more degrees necessarily. But just more experience. You need to expose yourself to new things. You need to learn new things. And why? Just to have more options. Knowing every day more and more about less and less is also following the path of slavery. You limit the companies you can work for. You limit the positions you can work on. And if you didn’t take care of your finances… You limit enormously the offers that you can accept for that job in that company.

Raise the bar on yourself. Never settle for doing “enough.” Today’s world is competitive and moves so quickly that you will have to raise your stamina level if you expect to remain in the competition or to even get into the competition to begin with. Those words are not mine. They are from a little orange guy living in a white house in Washington DC. You may like the guy or not… I don’t care. The thing is that Orangeman is right. The business as usual is killing professionals, if not...
When you could do anything, why focusing on less… Why specializing… Well… I receive that question or variants of that question often. In my work, just PPPs and major infrastructure projects. Why only big things. Big jobs… or where the big money is… In my investments, just real estate. And the answer is simple. If you are an adult, you know that working more hours does not equate to better results. Not even more money. On the contrary, working more hours usually means you’re grinding your...
When I was a junior project manager trying to discuss with a senior construction manager where to put some fiber optics for a toll system, he told me a story… In a large tunnel project, they had spent weeks arguing about where to put a temporary installation. Not fiber optics… but almost. Design said one thing. Construction said another. The client wanted the classic miracle: “No impact on cost. No impact on programme. No impact on risk.” Of course.
