I agree 100%. I didn't read Steven's book (probably one of the only people on the planet that hasn't) but he is right. I think that I have know that, intuitively, for longer than I can remember. My career was planned out, while at USNA, until I was to retire at 42. But a funny thing happened on my way to graduation and the government had other ideas for me. So I learned early that the best laid plans of mice and men.... Also, building my IT business (as I talk about in my <a href="http://cecsearch.com/WordPress/2006/11/04/so-how-did-you-think-i-got-to-be-a-recruiter/" rel="nofollow">article for the blog carnival</a>) took many a turn that was unexpected. I guess through it all, I've been able to adapt, to learn, to create value for others using my skills and knowledge. No one can take that away from you. Paychecks can be taken away, but when you leave company you take everything that you knew before you got there AND everything that you learned while you were there. Put it to good use. If you do, you'll be successful. And don't forget about the fact that when you leave a job, if should be the company that is losing the most. That has always made me feel good. Jason, great concepts.
