Too many people live the life of "job descriptions" and stated "objectives".The best managers look for employees who are willing to stay on the cutting edge. I have two types of employees a.) those who have not taken a single continuing education course since graduation and b.) those who constantly seek out learning opportunities. Lets face it if a textbook becomes obsolete in 4-5yrs what does that say about the education derived from it ?. |

I agree that you need to constantly be learning new things to apply to your job. This is particularly true for IT and Engineering positions. There are allways new programming languages being invented like C# which was invented last year. In engineering there is so much that they can't cover in school that you have to learn later on plus there's allways new discoveries on how to do things.
