I worked in software for 30 years. What I saw is that those who did best were most often the good politicians. They either knew who to crawl to, or they had gotten control of something important, and made sure others did not understand it. The software engineer who is clever, diligent and writes good clear code, that works well and is easy to maintain is easy to lay off. The software engineer who writes poor code that no-one else can understand is hard to lay off because they are hard to replace. Managers rarely know how good an engineer is, all they know is the image they create. I have seen engineers who rush their work, creating lots of bugs in poor code, become the favourite of the boss. And intelligence is not a predictor of success in software engineering, I’ve seen stupid people do much better than clever ones, because they have social skills that allow them to please the boss, even when their work is mediocre. This is in the UK, we don’t respect training, or intelligence. Trades do succeed based on ability. A good plumber gets a reputation and has no trouble finding customers, in fact they usually have to turn them away, or make them wait months.

I found my niche in ICU nursing. I worked night shift. Most families, doctors, and hospital staff were on days. Most of my patients were unconscious. I did enjoy the job and even enjoyed the teaching (families) aspect. I had 12 hours (and I might never see them again) to use the science of nursing to move people towards a less critical level and make them comfortable...all by myself.

My dad gave me the same advice, to consider my study to be a full time job. To plan what to learn and when.
I was at the time considering to stop my study. He kept me from it. He never got to study but knew the importance of it.
That is still the best advice my father has given me until now.
It was great to hear Jordan mention this to his students. He is helping them to really succeed and is giving them sound advice how to.

I was borne in a place and time where virtue had a high social currency....and that meant being agreeable to peers, no contradiction to elders, focus on just one repetitive redundant work with no socialising, and no option for creativity. With that kind of upbringing, it's difficult to fit in today's world stage where self expressions, debate, and networking are the way to go.

Have compassion for people whose personality traits are not currently in demand and highly paid. They were needed in the past, and they probably will be needed in the future. Don't cancel them. The present circumstances are just a roll of the dice and times change.
