Re: Globalization: Time to rethink education?
I have degrees, just not in my current field of employment. That was 20g spent back in the 80's for diplomas that do me Zero good at this point. I now consider the whole university concept to be horse and buggy thinking. Most jobs I've had I was "trained" once I got there, and my course in Mid 20th century military conflicts wasn't applicable. Nor was my course in creative writing...

Love in a multi-member team
I love it when I assist a user, problem solved, they are happy. Then the issue returns, and another member of the team takes the call. And then the original cause of the issue was all of a sudden me?! According to the user. It was a very uncomfortable moment for said user when I, and my colleague roll up to the office to confirm the issue and resolution.
