We're familiar with the concept of investing money, but do you invest in yourself... in you, and the business of you?

Careers today are often not so much a job, but an acquiring of skills as assets that allow you to work in whatever area of endeavor you enjoy. You're likely just a few skills away from doing work you love.

Knowledge is the new wealth, so the saying goes. Investing in a steadily growing foundation of knowledge and skills is essential for staying engaged and connected in today's fast-paced online world, no matter your age. The era of, "I still can't program a VCR" is an old joke that's no longer relevant.
