Investment vs. Return is not just about financial planning, it also addresses the impact of your educational investment and return on those dollars. About a week ago there was an interesting article in the Wall Street Journal, “Reid Hoffman: Searching for Breakout Ideas,” with great questions and answers. One of my favorites was a question about how people see themselves in their careers. Hoffman responded with several statements, but most importantly he addressed the need for people to invest in themselves.
It is no wonder that Tom Rath’s book, StrengthsFinder 2.0, has been on the best seller list every single week since it was published in 2007. People have been out of work or lost in their search for a career path, or they are looking for ways to move forward in a time when there are new rules for employment and jobs look different. That’s why it is important to pay attention when he addresses the fact that Talent x Investment = Strength. This applies to students as well as those already in the workforce.
