I like what you said about needing to accept the reality of being a quick learner, and that it will lead to outgrowing any job. I think there's something to that. That said, I wish I'd stop hitting the point of re-invention every five years... I'm not dumbing myself sown. I'm just wrestling with trying to figure out how to move into the next career I want without being overqualified before I really get there. Dave,

Thanks for stopping by!

I like what you said about needing to accept the reality of being a quick learner, and that it will lead to outgrowing any job. I think there’s something to that.

That said, I wish I’d stop hitting the point of re-invention every five years… I’m not dumbing myself sown. I’m just wrestling with trying to figure out how to move into the next career I want without being overqualified before I really get there.
