That’s a quote from an article by Buck Woody (blog | Twitter) on SQL Server Professional Development Plan, Part 1. It’s a great read, and worth the time to go through.
The one quote in there that stands out to me, is this one:
Your career is up to you.
I think Buck is right on that you are responsible for your career. I think you do need to take the view that you are always a consultant, even if you work at the same job for 45 years, you need to take control of your career and make sure it is moving forward.
Your boss might encourage you, your company might help you, but ultimately it is still your responsibility to ensure that their assistance is right for you.
And if there is no assistance, you need to provide it yourself.
