  • If you don't know what the world is going to look like five years from now, there is not a lot of sense trying to predict potential external factors planning your career based on that dubious prediction.
  • So are we saying career planning is waste of time? Yes, much of the time it is, at least as it is typically taught.
  • Determine your desire Take a step toward it Incorporate what you learn from taking that step Take another step Learn from that one Repeat until you have a job, your own business, or have achieved your goal

  • Rosenberg said colleges probably have to do a better job of connecting what students are learning in the classroom to what’s going on in the world around them, to further the argument that liberal arts colleges provide a social good.
  • And they acknowledged that liberal arts colleges, which bill themselves as being the best form of undergraduate education, should constantly be striving to be on the cutting edge of good instruction.

      Interesting comment. Wonder how this will be used 10 years from now.

  • But liberal arts colleges are reluctant to expand in size out of fear of diminishing the quality of their experience. Their small-class and residential-campus models are expensive to provide, as are the financial aid programs they deploy to ensure diverse student bodies. Administrators fear breaking down the four-year, full-time model, which they believe is crucial to developing well-rounded students. And the liberal arts curriculum isn’t necessarily tied to preparing students for a specific career, and certainly not a single job
  • Despite significant looming challenges related to affordability, access, public skepticism about value, changing student demographics, and the influence of technology on students and education -- which all the attendees readily acknowledged -- most of the presidents of the liberal arts colleges here this week aren’t planning on substantively changing to how their institutions operate or their economic models.

    Interesting comments from liberal arts colleges. Some think that the liberal arts colleges are not preparing kids for the future. I had no idea that they only enroll 5% of all students. Many are small elite universities.

  • The exploding anytime, anywhere, anyone access to information and teachers/mentors/co-learners via the Web is pushing traditional school structures, instructional methods and relationships toward obsolescence
  • Due to the speed with which the Web and other technologies have evolved and are evolving, current teachers, education professionals and teacher-training programs are ill-equipped to employ sound pedagogies for learning with technology or to prepare students for the technology rich, unpredictable, fast-changing, globally networked world they will inhabit.

      This is the most important point for me. This is why teacher learning needs to include the tools.

  • The growing ability of technology to replace both unskilled and, increasingly, skilled labor is disrupting traditional thinking and practice about how best to prepare students for careers and is challenging the view that a college degree is a ticket to a middle-class existence.

  • In short, their ability to be creative, to share complex knowledge across locations, contexts and cultures and to manage global innovation and product development teams effectively is precisely why multiculturals in integrative roles in the innovation process do make such a positive difference.
  • In addition, they identified intercultural, cognitive integration (one’s ability to simultaneously hold and apply several culturally different schemas and thus to think as a member of one culture or another depending on need and context, or to think simultaneously as member of several cultures) as the key to creative, adaptive and leadership skills fostering their career success. As one of the managers Hae-Jung Hong interviewed put it:
  • The most important skill I need in order to develop and launch this product line successfully is to exploit what I’ve got from one part to other parts of the world, which brings something innovative in the market. I am able to do this because I have references in different languages— English, Hindi, and French. I read books in three different languages, meet people from different countries, eat food from different countries, and so on. I cannot think things in one way only. That’s not my way.

  •  “Multiculturals have a kind of gymnastic intellectual training to think as if they were French, American, or Chinese and all together inside them.”
  • The experience of living in multiple cultures obviously helps, but just “being there” is not enough. One needs to have strong on-going interaction with people belonging to the local culture, and become embedded in the local culture. Expatriate “villages” will not suffice.

  • “Scientific curiosity is the core of the human soul—wonder. Human beings have a compelling need to explore nature and understand the world around us. We are all scientists,” I observed. “Some of us have the privilege of pursuing scientific discovery as a career, but the rest of us make science possible by contributing their hard-earned money and their curiosity in support of science. Science is a group effort.” Forty-eight hours later I had my faith tested.
