Whenever the economy takes a downturn it’s always smart to take stock of what makes you more valuable to either your employer or your customers. That can mean everything from expanding your skill set to offering a new service. Sometimes that means making sacrifices now for gains later. Take a continuing education class. Get that certification you’ve been thinking about. Learn a new programming language. Anything. Just make yourself more valuable to your company/customers. You want your services to be a must-have. Something they can’t live without.
From a personal standpoint, my brother is in the process of completing his BS in Information Systems. While taking a full-time course load, raising two small children and working full-time he’ll manage to graduate summa cum laud in just a couple weeks. No small feat. He deserves a well earned congratulations! Great job Scardog!
