So this week, I’ve been in training with my cohorts, er my field. Lets just say it’s been an interesting perspective, if you don’t know what I do check out this youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bs3o1DMdeI). Perhaps is not exactly my job, but it’s a nice summation of my kind, I’m sorry to say. I also have to say that San Francisco is having some really crappy weather, and business deals don’t stop even if you are training. Which is a shame.
I don’t know how often or if you ever get a change to visit other people in your field but its very enlightening to see how diverse its made up of. It seems that all of you have the same or at least similar job titles, yet very few actually seem to be doing the same thing, sure most have a considerable overlap, but they can be considerably different.
It brings to question how do people compare themselves to others in their profession, if you believe that you cannot really on titles. It really seems that to make an adequate comparison of responsibilities you must develop a prior repore with them. Which brings in to question how many relationship the average person has in today’s business world. One major issue I see occurring, is that if the only time you call upon this relationship is to ask something of them, it isn’t valuable to them, since for some reason it never lasts unless both parties see the benefit.
Anyways I must get back to exploring MIT Courses.
