Achieving Mastery

 

The only goal worthy of achieving for anyone, even ex-cons is achieving mastery in any given field, master carpenter, master electrician, master plumber, et cetera, et cetera… once you achieve mastery you are able to earn a living wage. What is a living wage in America? $70,000.00 per year. A person that had achieved mastery can go into any city and find work while earning $70,000.00 per year. Achieving this is crossing home plate. After 6.25 years in prison I paroled and chose the field of Information Technology as my career path. I went to college and got a BS in CIS (Bachelors of Science in Computer Information Systems) then I went on to grad school for a Masters in Information Systems. I have a Security Clearance for the work I did as an IT Consultant to the Federal Government and I have 10 years’ experience of Teaching and Training Information Technology. After your 40 hour work week you should be spending another 20 hours a week on making yourself more marketable by doing things to raise your skill level. This can be done by taking workshops, classes (not necessarily a college degree) or by working a second job, a part-time job in the field you are working in. After 10,000 hours of extra work you should achieve Mastery. That's 10 years, 10 Years of working minimum of 60 hours a week. You just made it to first base. You are a long way from scoring. Time to get to work. Mastery is the only goal worth striving for and achieving. The End...
