Will it stick this time?

So, instead of trying to stay on topic, perhaps my effort would be more rewarding if I just wrote whatever came into my cranium on a given day without regard to the trend of topics or if any previous topic had been exhausted through my musing. 

To that end, this blog is not expected to bring much value to anyone, not even to myself perhaps.  Hopefully it will allow me to collect and potentially collate my musing into a body of work that will allow me to see patterns that might not be seen.  

In the end, this is a blog about nothing... Which I believe was the theme of a rather successful sitcom at one point.

Rebalancing

Once you see (and truly accept) the ugly that is possible in others, it is hard to go back to unseeing the potential for that ugly in nearly everyone you meet (see last post).  That said, learning to hold back some enthusiasm in the pursuits and efforts that require introducing new people into the collaborative space is difficult.

In the middle of that, I am finding the questions that interest me to be ...

The Sky is the Limit

 If this is true, how to we ever hope to help people who are trying to figure out what they're personally interested in doing as a career? When the potential workspace is SO large, where does one start?  How do we make it simple enough to be easily digested, yet informative enough to ensure we are not creating false expectations, or (probably more importantly) scaring students away from the "hard" stuff? What is THE Problem? Students are not aware of the diverse career opportunities that exist in the information technology space. Students who have a limited interest in the “technical” part of I.T. are not aware of the non-technical aspects of the work. Why does this problem exist? There is not a definitive IT advocacy group that has defined all the potential careers in the market There is no "simple answer" to what a career will look like so we have analysis of too many choices Guidance counselors are only able to "guide" on subjects they have informa...
