We hear a lot these days about the need to re-tool, re-train or re-invent ourselves into a new career to survive the workplace jungle. My suggestion is that we look at this process differently. Think of it as a "career evolution" that you're experiencing.
From global warming to global business, change is occurring rapidly. Many occupations have disappeared forever. But your skills and knowledge have not been lost. Your challenge is to determine how to transfer what you know into new occupations and new fields.
Look at your career as a small business - you are the CEO. Now, manage it! Create your career plan as a CEO creates his business plan. Look to the future; study the trends. Make your plan fluid and flexible. Relying solely on the past is not the ticket to future career success.
