Key Messages from Part 1
- You are going through a transition from education to work. Do it well by gathering help, such as this book and course.
- Your results from the education system are important, but they are by no means the whole story. Don’t sit on your education results (good or bad).
- Your education should continue for the rest of your life.
- On average, an additional year at school will add $1m to your life earnings.
- People make up these averages. Those who do better than average will be the late developers, and the self-improvers.
- Employers say about 75% of work starters are NOT ready for work. Chances are that means YOU. Get help.
- Work is important. It will have a huge impact on your lifestyle.
- The difference between work and leisure time is disappearing.
- Work has changed in the past, and will continue to change. But you will almost certainly work longer.
- Rely on yourself to succeed at work. Not your employer.
- Work success comes from learning to work with others.
- Your first job is important. Learn from it.
- Work doesn’t have to be a drudge. You can learn to love your job.
