In the corner video this week, Stan Christensen says that instead of being a specialist you should be a generalist. He says to put yourself in a position to take advantage of great opportunities when they come up. By being a generalist we can have a variety of skills instead of being really great at just one or two things.
Christensen says to not freak out about the first job after you graduate. Do things you love instead of focusing on building your resume. In the long run, when you are at job interviews, you will be able to show your true self and describe your passions. You also might surprise yourself and meet some great people that ultimately end up being your future business partners in a world-wide successful company.
Ted Zoller says that there are several paths to success. Learn something to build yourself up as an entrepreneur at every single job you take on. No matter what company you end up at, LEARN. You don't have to know everything about everything when you get your first job, or for that matter your 10th job.
Be pretty good or adequate at several things and keep your options open. Explore the things you love and work hard. The key to actual success lies in the passion behind your career.
