Listening to today's editon (10-6-2004) of Adam Curry's Daily Source Code (MP3 here), Career Opportunities: The High-Tech Career Handbook and I got a good mention. He even played a clip from the latest column.

You can find the mention at about 21 minutes into the show.

Freelancing Now - from the archives

September 5, 2003

In the old days, a newly minted high-techworker had a clearly defined road to follow for their career.They would take an entry-level job at some large corporation, do all the menial labor they could stand and either get promoted or take whatever they learned to some other company. Repeat this as necessary, until the person found a niche where they could settle in for the long haul. In today’s workplace, though, I would like to offer an alternative. One that I think might better serve the high-tech careerist and the people for whom they work. Wouldn’t it be better to try out other avenues if employment and other career paths before locking yourself into something that may not serve you well? I have come to believe that starting everyone off in a typical corporate job may do more damage than good.
