Comment on Your Childhood Dreams Become Career Success by Vicki Steere

Childhood dreams are not always so clear cut. I believe we all show inate talents in some fashion. They might not be so overt and we may not know what direction to ultimately move them, but I’m an optimist and believe it’s good to dream… to set goals. My goals and priorities ahve changes as well and of course I don’t believe anyone should have their full life’s satisfaction come only from their career… It’s a balance. And yet we do spend a fair amount of our life at work. If it’s not somehow satisfying.. whether it just be a sense of accomplishment at the end of a good day’s work. It’s worth it.

I also agree with you in that I’d like hiring managers to be able to think outside the box in transferring skills for career changers. It’s not just age, though… it’s a rut that many get into… reading a resume and looking for those specific skills. There are certain technical fields where this is a must. However, many jobs can be learned, especially by someone with experience.

Part of me really wants to agree with you about valuing childhood dreams. I really hate when people prematurely discard somebody’s opinions just because of their age, especially young.

Having said that, however, I know that I saw life differently at 32 than when I was 16. My goals and priorities changed. Most of all, I didn’t make career the only source of satisfaction.

Additionally, some of the things I thought about becoming became obsolete because of technology. Or the type of job I wanted got sent overseas. Now it’s time to do something else.

I only wish that more people were flexible about age. That goes for extending opportunities for people just starting out, that also goes for people who are tired of the same old and want to do something beyond the drag of getting old.

As the Workforce Readiness Advocate for our Colorado Springs SHRM Chapter, I applaud all of the employee-owners at Jobing.com for this critically needed effort. As a former executive search firm owner and high school dropout prevention specialist who now works as a transition coach with early, near and recent retirees in declining industries, I urge your new foundation to focus on both ends of the age spectrum. Best wishes in your new endeavor.
