The other day at work, between projects, I was ruminating on the fact that on-the-job training is often more valuable than any amount of classroom instruction. Because they never teach you what you really need to know in The Real World™ when you're in school. And what is it that you learn most about at work? Why, business, of course! I mean, who better to teach about business than successful businesspeople? I've worked for seven different...business entities1 over the years. I've learned different things from different places. And I want to share what I have learned so that you--and most of you are younger than I am--can benefit from my years of experience. Because I'm a helpful guy.
There is, in fact, so much wisdom to impart that I feel compelled to put it behind a cut, so as not to clutter your friends page very much (see "helpful guy" above). But you know you want to click. You know you do. Come on...
( ...do it )
I'd like to finish this by just saying that I sincerely wish I were making any of this up, but...I'm just not. These are real things I've learned on the job in the last 19 years.
Oh, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

1 I say it this way because three of them were at the University of Alabama, but were completely different departments.
