Low interest
I recently got thinking about what we value, what we're interested in and how those things align with how we spend our time.

2 pieces of career advice
In a recent conversation where two people were giving career advice, I noticed a wide gap between their perspectives. The first person spoke about doing something you were interested in, gaining a qualification and working hard to be a specialist in your field. The second person just spoke about picking a career in a field … Continue reading 2 pieces of career advice
