These days, with so many opportunities and possibilities available, preparing for the future is like getting an all -terrain vehicle. With four-wheel drive, you don't have to stay on the road. In fact, some of the best places to go don't even have roads. Trains are highly specialized-they can only go down the track. They can go faster than other vehicles, but only in a straight line.
Cars are more generalized, and ATVs are the most flexible.
They have some of the qualities of a car, some of a truck, and even some of a motorcycle. Thus , in planning your career, it's becoming more important to stay generalized as well as specialized. Successful individuals will be those who have the ability to do a variety of things as we move forward. People who can only work in a specialty risk losing everything if that specialty goes away for some reason. And many do.
