Nice post. Number 6 hit the nail on the head for me. Under poor management this can be difficult but ultimately we answer to a higher authority.
I like this article. I’m currently trying to get a job in the computing field and I definately agree that one has to learn by themselves. I’ll keep these other points in mind.
Michael, As a former enlisted Marine myself who spent a large part of my time at wonderful Cherry Point right there in North Carolina, I read your post and felt like I was back there all over again. I have frequently been accused of over dressing, performing above my allotted pay grade, and leading in ways that inspire others to follow. I can’t honestly say the military was a great fit for me as a career, but the rewiring that the Marines did on my own clockwork is permanent and lasting. I am today starting my own entrepreneurial venture and it is absolutely not for the feint of heart.
By the way my website is great but my SEO sucks….I am looking forward to looking at the all in one SEO…..thanks! S/F – Todd Staples tassma.net
