[63] Skills for independence

2020, August 6th

Over the last days, I saw A* working. He has coding skills I don’t have and can do things I can’t. We have a great complementarity. But the more I see him working, the more I want to learn.

When I see him working, I realize the power he has in his hands. I’m not talking about how expensive his skills are on the labour market. I don’t really care about that. I am talking about the independence it gives you.

If you want to make these skills available for a company, you can.

If you want to use these skills to build you own project, you can.

That’s amazing.

Since in September I have nothing to do, I also want to acquire this independence.

For me it has much more value than the classic consulting job I could get after my business school.

I will be able to help coding the IFC, and to understand what more technical issues.

I have already started to follow some free Openclassrooms courses. It’s amazing how easy it is to access knowledge today. Openclassrooms, blogs, youtube, tutorials… Knowledge is everywhere, no excuses.
