Continuing education is necessary for any profession (some require it....)
Hmmm....though I suppose its right. I worked for startup-ish out of college....though all the other Engineers had Ph.D's, and I didn't.... That last for 7.5 years. During that time I got no support in continuing education.... While I was looking for work, I got a lot inquires about whether I'd want to work as a systems administrator...but I wanted to do software, and eventually I found one. Then I worked an established company....as a Software Engineer. Also didn't get much in the way of continuing education (though I started seeking it out more on my own)..... That last for 7.5 years. After that...it took a while to find a job. It was during this where I pretty much decided to look at system administration jobs. Apparently there's just not much demand for C/Unix software engineers anymore. My regret was probably not jumping onto the Object Oriented programming fad when I was finishing college.... Though FORTRAN is forever, but apparently not for me..... But, we should all become Jedi's.... ----- Original Message ----- > http://developers.slashdot.org/story/12/04/23/1928202/software-engineering-is-a-dead-end-career-says-bloomberg > http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/12/03/1435217/half-life-of-a-tech-worker-15-years > I do try to grow professionally as a sysadmin on the younger side, > but is this something I should be worried about?
