Been thinking about being in a career rut and how to get out of it.
Any ideas?
One of the remedies would be to learn something new. Being a student keeps you humble and allows you to grow out of your previous accolades and chart a new course, a new beginning.
And beginnings bring life and productivity to them.
This year, I decided to commit myself (a kind of enrollment) to learning remote sensing and geographic information systems.
No one really asked me to, but I decided to take them because equipping myself with new skills relevant to what I want to become would help me arrive at the future I want to be in.
While reading one of my course references, this passage reminded me about enrollment and education (What is school for?):
A student equipped with a narrow background is ill prepared to compete with those trained in other disciplines or to adjust to unexpected developments in science and technology. Thus any educational experience is best perceived not as a catalog of facts to be memorized but as an experience in how to learn to equip oneself for independent learning later, outside the classroom. This task requires a familiarity with basic references, fundamental principles, and the content of related disciplines, as well as the core of facts that form the substance of a field of knowledge.
