There is nothing worse that realizing how "inadequate" you really are! This week I found out that I'm NOT "all that"! In fact, I'm not sure what I am!
I thought after 25 years of service in the Air Force, I would be someone who could easily walk out of the Air Force some day and land a job. However, as I continue to review my "skills" I find that I have really atrophied in my Technology Skills. I guess I'm a manager...but of what? I guess I manage "details"!!!! But not really sure what I am doing or how this relates to my life after the Air Force.
Therefore, I guess I'm going to need to go back to school!!!! I need to refresh my skills and plan for what I want to do in the future. I thought at this point in my life, I would be ready for the impending change of profession, but I not there. At least I'm not ready to make the transition since I need to get back into the books and learn some more IT!
I was always a generalist...now I need to be a specialist! What to specialize in??? HMMMM
Looks like I have the next 5 years to figure out what skills I need to learn to make myself marketable!
