Ability to Learn

This last week I attended a panel of CUA alumni who now work on Wall Street. The main lesson learned, in the words of Michael Pascale, senior VP - Investments of a private client group at Wells Fargo Advisors: "Be willing to do whatever it takes to learn".

Entitlement to work, job safety, or success is no longer the norm. From what I have heard in the past month of listening to successful business people, what one does at work often is not what one was trained to do. Hard work and the ablility to learn on the job has become key, especially in this age of changing technologies.
