I used to be a:
Student.
Unemployed.
Artist.
Freelancer.
The IT guy.
The manager.
The fixer.
All previous working lives that built today’s current T-shaped skills. Whenever I’m asked how did I choose my path I say I try something and do more of it or less of it depending if I like it. I don’t know what’s next but it’s definitely more of what I like. Oh and being good at something helps me like it. So I practice. If it’s a skill it can be learned.
