Congratulations to everybody who is going to be graduating this Spring/Summer. If you could go back and do one thing differently what would it be?
I'm 4 years out, but if I could go back to Penn State I would have listened to my J-School professor and started a blog. It would have been great if I discovered the greatness of blogging earlier in my life. I probably could have avoided some of the mistakes I made early in my career.

Fortunately my life has been a great ride regardless.

Then I wouldn't have needed a gap year between undergrad and grad school to get to the awesome place I'm at today. People who really love what they do are always happy to talk to you about it - I have no idea why I didn't take more advantage of that fact when I really wanted to match myself to my job.

When I used to work at IBM, I mostly blogged and read books for my professional development, and now that I'm at a start-up, it seems like I'm constantly learning. What types of activities do you engage in to keep learning at your job? And which are the most useful to success in your industry? Books? Magazines? Conferences? Classes? Young professional events? Webinars? Looking forward to hearing all that you do to continue your education once you're in the workplace.

I always thinking about that, for sure book is an amazing thing that usually you read a study based on years of research coming from the author but anyway, I still thinking that the best way to learn is through interaction(people and experience)
@Dan Such as Dan told but sometimes it's not worthwhile you do an action without a little bit of research and achieve a mistake that you couldn't do if you did the research!
Honestly I don't think anything on the internet today get enough to interact people with experience to a video conference to debate civilized how to achieve better improvements for the common sense talking generally.
Looking forward to hear new comments!

My view is that the doing, the research, the contacts, etc, I mean that the mix of experience and knowledge coming from a diversity of sources makes you be an exceptional and potential LIFE LEARNERS from the others

I recently relocated to Hartford, CT. Do any members have advice of community orgs. or professional networks to get involved with here? I'd really like to meet new people and get immersed with the area. Thanks for your tips! :)

good to see NPR giving District 9 wider exposure, & I appreciate the reactions of S. Africans to the allegorical connections to apartheid.
