Your post is quite timely as I have been pondering the "free agent" reality and mindset as of late having just the other day tweeted: "I think many ppl don't build a #SoMe #PLN & continuous learning becuz it's not a desired "skill" listed by employers. Wait & it's too late". Maybe its the industrial era mindset of employees that keep them from approaching work in a free lance kind of way and owning their PD. Even if under the perceived comfortable umbrella of an organization, we must remain ahead of the wave of change that is crushing antiquated systems.
