Default Choosing a job for the SKILLS

Thanks for sharing your valuable outlook, Thomas... :)

That's an excellent point. Choosing a job which will help give you important skills you need may be even more important than choosing a job for the money....

I know Gordon has recommended that everyone should at least once get a job which will give them experience in sales. I think the reason is because sales skills can help you no matter WHAT you end up doing.... As long as you have to deal with people (which means everybody), then sales skills can be useful....

Thomas, I hope you don't mind me pointing out that you are the guy I mentioned earlier who negotiated a 40% RAISE after working for only 3 WEEKS at your part-time job.... So you're clearly doing SOMETHING right! :)

And Thomas also has a lot of passive income flowing in to his pocket, since he has really applied some of the advice he has shared with us. He's living this stuff and is proof that it works. :)

Thanks again :)

Cheers,

Dien
