Open your life to learning, embrace serendipity, capture the gems in the freefall of failures. This is a well-timed piece in the season of graduations.
I’ve been a weed puller, retail sales associate, restaurant manager, bookseller, IT support rep, university housing manager, writer, IT security analyst, and small business owner. I finally completed my degree in creative writing at 30 with two kids and a healthy career under my belt. The experience of learning provided the most value. Such a great post, Maura. Very timely!
Maura, I passed this wonderful article on to my granddaughter. She graduated last year and is still trying to find her niche. Thank you for these thoughtful words.
Very true. My next book has an entire chapter on the value of a college degree in the modern class system...its not the major...
Failing upwards, yes.
